The four-brother rock ‘n roll show follows this news with a fall headlining tour, visiting 25 markets through early November.

“The debut week for Remedy Drive represents years of work that the band has put into its ministry, and we are glad that its music and message has resonated with fans,” says Word Entertainment Chief Operating Officer Rod Riley. “We congratulate Remedy Drive on its exceptional debut and look forward to more great things from the band in the months ahead.”

Remedy Drive frontman David Zach adds, “We feel really honored and humbled that every day a few more people around the country are finding out about this band from Nebraska that’s been making music independently for the last five years. We are excited to take a new album out on the road.”

Remedy Drive will continue to support the release of Daylight Is Coming with a fall headlining tour kicking off this week. The band will visit more than 25cities nationwide, including its native Lincoln, Neb. as well as major markets Chicago, Indianapolis, and Houston.
