The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is an American rock band hailing from Middleburg, Florida, that shot to mainstream success in the mid-2000s with their emotive blend of post-hardcore, alternative rock, and pop-punk elements. Formed in 2003 by childhood friends Ronnie Winter (lead vocals) and Duke Kitchens (guitar), the band solidified their lineup with the addition of guitarist Elias Reidy, bassist Joey Westwood, and drummer Jon Wilkes. The band's debut album, "Don't You Fake It" (2006), propelled them to stardom, largely due to the success of their lead single, "Face Down," which addresses the serious issue of domestic abuse and became a powerful anthem resonating with audiences globally.

With a career spanning over two decades, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus has continued to evolve while maintaining their commitment to creating music with a message. Their discography includes several full-length albums and a plethora of singles and EPs, showcasing the band's ability to adapt to the changing musical landscape without losing their distinctive edge. Their more recent offerings, such as "The Emergency EP" (2020) and "Brace Yourself" (2020), continue to exhibit the band's signature melodic intensity and lyrical sincerity. Despite lineup changes over the years, with Ronnie Winter remaining as the consistent driving force, the band has endured and remains a beloved staple in the alternative rock genre, committed to connecting with fans through heartfelt music and compelling live performances.
