Oct. 9, 2013-GRAMMY-nominated rock band RED launches its fall 2013 "Self Inflicted Tour" to 20 U.S. cities this week, following up the domestic run with an 18-city jaunt throughout Europe beginning early November. In conjunction with the tour, RED's No. 1 Christian radio hit, "Die For You," is now going for adds at Active Rock radio.

RED's Randy Armstrong comments, "We're excited to hit the road harder than we ever have in our career. From California to Russia and everywhere in between!"

Besides a demanding tour schedule, which has seen attendance exceeding 650,000 in 2013 alone, the band continues to garner unique opportunities for massive exposure. Its latest high profile platform is the "Pinball Rocks" game app for iOS and Android. RED's song "Perfect Life" was initially featured in the game, which has more than 1.6 million downloads.
