CI Signs WITH LIFE AND MIND

From the inbox:

CI Records is excited to announce the latest addition to their roster – Philadelphia, PA’s WITH LIFE IN MIND, who are set to release their debut full-length this fall.

“Getting signed to CI is just about the best thing that has happened to us yet,” says drummer Josh Ireson. “Working with them has brought on a whole new level of this band that we’ve wanted since the beginning. We really feel that this album will take our band to the next level, and with CI there to back us up, we feel more than confident.”

The band is currently in the studio recording with producer Carson Slovak of CENTURY (Prosthetic Records) and ARMSBENDBACK (Trustkill Records) and, upon completion of the album, they will hit the road with now labelmates TEXAS IN JULY, dates below.

Since forming in early 2008, WITH LIFE IN MIND has created a name for themselves on in a number of markets on the East Coast, an area where the band has played countless shows. The band’s CI debut will follow-up their self-released 2009 EP, The Human Condition.

Now with WITH LIFE IN MIND, prepping for their first national release, the band is grateful for the chance to do what they do best – make music. Adds Ireson: “We’ve been working really hard for the past two years and [CI Records] were the ones to really take notice to that. They’re giving us a chance that we haven’t gotten until now, and we’re all very excited.”

- Not to be too critical, but here’s another press release that doesn’t at all hint at what the band sounds like (which turns out to be pretty impressive, screamy metalcore). Outside of their base area of Lancaster, PA, CI Records doesn’t draw a lot of attention, which is kind of amazing considering some of the bands that they have discovered over the years, including current metal sensations AUGUST BURNS RED and before they went lame, THE PINK SPIDERS.
