Sumerian Records has announced their signing of iconic alternative rock outfit Circa Survive. This news was met with the announcement that the band will be releasing a Deluxe CD/DVD version of their 2012 album, Violent Waves, via their new partnership with Sumerian on September 9th. Circa Survive originally released Violent Waves independently, with the record still debuting at #15 on the Billboard 200.
The Deluxe Edition of Violent Waves will feature a full length DVD with a live performance from the band’s sold out show at The Shrine in Los Angeles last December; as well as backstage footage, behind the scenes content and more.
On the announcement of their signing with Sumerian, Circa Survive frontman Anthony Green states,
“We are so happy to be a part of the Sumerian family. To be able to have the same creative freedom as we did on our own plus the benefits of having their team helping us spread our music and message is a dream scenario.”
Sumerian Records Founder and CEO, Ash Avildsen also commented on the news, adding,
“Today is one of the happiest and fulfilling days of my career and I think I speak for our entire staff when sharing that sentiment. Having Circa Survive join the Sumerian family is a dream come true. Their passion and approach of artistic transcendence as a band is exactly what we continue to strive for with Sumerian as a brand.
Their progressive, ethereal songwriting that conveys emotion in such a unique way has built them an incredible cult following while always staying true to themselves, which is the definition of musical success in my mind. Sumerian is honored to play a part in their career and vision. We hope to help them achieve even bigger goals while bringing their music to more new ears.”
Circa Survive are currently working towards the completion of their next full length release and will be announcing a headlining tour in the near future.
