Affiance "The Campaign" First Week!
The new Affiance album "The Campaign" has had a successful first week! Some great sales numbers have charted them at #7 Heatseekers, #7 Top New Artist, #37 Top Hard Albums, and #53 Top Indie Albums. Singer Dennis Tvrdik commented, "We are absolutely stoked that we charted on Billboard! Our fans are insanely supportive and believe in us not only as a band but as people. Thank you to everyone who bought The Campaign. We are forever grateful!"
The band just premiered their first music video from "The Campaign"! The video is for the opening track "Kings Of Deceit" and shows the band performing as well as newsworthy moments from the last few decades. The song also features Dustin Davidson from August Burns Red (courtesy of Solid State) who gives a great vocal performance!
"We were really excited to do a serious and dark video since our biggest video is us running around in our pajamas and playing a video game. This video is for the first track on the album and we wanted to start 'The Campaign' off by calling out the media and the powerful who orchestrate and manipulate the biggest events throughout modern history. It also shows a different side of us than our 'Call To The Warrior' video. You know us as easy going, good time dudes, but we are also dead serious about making positive change in the world around us." - Dennis Tvrdik (Vocals)
Dennis Tvrdik commented on the new album (Produced by Carson Slovak at Atrium Audio who has recently finished records for August Burns Red, Texas In July), "The Campaign is multiple levels above No Secret Revealed in every area. The vocals, the drums, the guitars, the recording quality, the song structure, the variety... We couldn't be happier or more confident with a sophomore album. It almost feels like we skipped a release between the two albums! There is not a doubt in my mind that this will be a game changer for us and will open many doors to opportunities otherwise closed off from us."
Affiance recently appeared AS A CARTOON (yes, a cartoon) in a new interview with South Africa's MK Ondergrond! The interview appeared on national SA television but can be seen on YouTube along with recent interviews with In Flames and The Used. Singer Dennis Tvrdik talks about their hometown of Cleveland, the metal and hardcore scenes, touring, music videos, and more. They have also recently been featured in Hails And Horns Magazine and have features coming in the next issue of Outburn Magazine and more!
The guys launched their new music video for "Nostra Culpa" this Spring and it is available on YouTube! The video showcases the band doing what they do best, and that is performing LIVE. Check them out in front of a packed headlining set at Peabody's in their hometown of Cleveland! Of course if you haven't seen their groundbreaking music video for "Call To The Warrior" (650,000+ views), you need to watch it immediately!
