Daughtry: Upgraded Tour Venues and New Lyric Video

• 31st Jan 2014

Daughtry is the rock band fronted by Chris Daughtry, finalist from American Idol Season 5 (2005). Behind only Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry is the third-biggest selling American Idol alumnus around the world Baptized is the band’s fourth full-length studio album, and takes the band in a new musical direction. Motivated by intensely creative writing sessions with the likes of Martin Johnson [Boys Like Girls], Sam Hollander [Gym Class Heroes, Coheed and Cambria] and Claude Kelly [Bruno Mars, Whitney Houston], the singer, songwriter and musician quickly discovered the direction of his latest body of work.

Baptized signals a rebirth for Chris and the band “I want fans to keep an open mind about it,” he concludes. “The songs are very much what I do lyrically and melodically. I’ve always been a sucker for a great melody. That’s what song-writing is all about. Can people relate to this? Is it real? Is it honest? That’s what everyone should take away. It’s real and authentic. This is where I am right now.” The album is available now.

The first UK single from the new album Bapitized will be Long Live Rock & Roll on February 24th 2014. Whilst metaphorically punching the air with vigour, Long Live Rock & Roll passionately recalls a rock infused youth- one filled with raw energy, of big guitars and even bigger personalities; of legends past and present who are forever emblazoned in our hearts. It is a truly anthemic floor-stomper of a song, inspired by rich memories and a love for all things Rock & Roll!
