The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus came out of Middleburg, Florida, with a sound made for 2006: pop-punk hooks, emo heartache and a little post-hardcore bark, all fronted by Ronnie Winter, who handles lead vocals and turns up on acoustic guitar and keyboards too.

Their major-label debut, Don't You Fake It, came out on Virgin in 2006, and its lead single "Face Down" was the one that broke through, a tight, stomping blast of a chorus that turned out to be the biggest thing they ever did. "False Pretense" and "Your Guardian Angel" kept the momentum going, and the album went Platinum, the only record of theirs to earn an RIAA certification.

The lineup has shuffled plenty since. Winter and bassist Joey Westwood are still in place, with Randy Winter and Josh Burke on guitars and John Espy on drums, and the band has put out 6 studio albums in all.
