THIS BEAUTIFUL REPUBLIC TOURS FOR HEART SUPPORT
Band to Share Stage With Delirious?, Sanctus Real at UK Ultimate Event

This Beautiful Republic (NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Feb. 18, 2008-- Forefront Records rock band This Beautiful Republic is currently touring alongside headliner Family Force 5 as well as special guests Falling Up and Spoken on the “Heart Support Tour.” The group will also join top acts Delirious? and Sanctus Real at the Ultimate Event, among other high profile appearances this spring and summer.

Kicking off late last month, the “Heart Support Tour” is a partnership with heartsupport ministry (www.heartsupport.com), an online support community which offers hope and practical resources to those struggling with addictions, depression, self-injury, eating disorders and suicide. The 22-city tour runs through February 24. For a complete list of tour dates, visit familyforce5.com

“This tour has been incredible in so many ways,” says This Beautiful Republic frontman Ben Olin. “The exposure to Family Force 5’s fans has been overwhelming, and we’ve been blown away by their support and reaction to us. Plus, we’re spreading the word about Heart Support, an online organization that can really offer some immediate help to those who are in need.”

Additionally, This Beautiful Republic will join Delirious? and Sanctus Real for the Ultimate Event music festival at Alton Towers theme park in Staffordshire, Scotland, on May 10. For the past 13 years, the Ultimate Event has combined thrill rides with rock music to create an event where Christian young people would be proud to bring their friends. For more information, visit www.ultimateevents.org.uk.

This Beautiful Republic is already looking forward to a full summer schedule with the release of its sophomore project in July and numerous festival appearances, including Atlanta Fest, Lifest and Rock the Universe.

Comprising lead singer Ben Olin, drummer Andy Smith, guitarist Jeremy Kunkle, bassist Brandon Paxton and Adam Smith, also on guitar, This Beautiful Republic hails from Toledo, Ohio. The band’s catchy vocals, riveting guitar sound, and unshakable fan loyalty quickly generated a local buzz which garnered the attention of Forefront Records, who eagerly signed This Beautiful Republic. Its label debut, Even Heroes Need a Parachute, produced by Allen Salmon (most noted for engineering records by Sanctus Real as well as Mute Math) and mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac, Michelle Branch) released April 3, 2007 to wide recognition from critics, many who cited This Beautiful Republic as a contender for New Artist of the Year.
