5X Platinum-certified alternative rockers THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS — vocalist Ronnie Winter, his multi-instrumentalist brother Randy Winter, guitarist Josh Burke, bassist Joey Westwood, drummer John Espy, keyboardist Nadeem Salam, and newest member K Enagonio on vocals — rode the crest of a major career wave in 2025. They released X'S FOR EYES via BETTER NOISE MUSIC and enjoyed Fall 2025 appearances at key festivals, including Aftershock, When We Were Young, and Warped Tour Orlando.
Today, the band cruises into 2026 with the release of the deluxe edition of X'S FOR EYES. The expanded version features four additional tracks: the previously released "Angels Cry"; "Perfection" (Feat. Mayday Parade's Derek Sanders); "Not Today"; and "Slipping Through (No Kings)" (Screams Version). Get the deluxe version

"The surprise guest vocalist and alternate versions really make this the most exciting deluxe edition in the history of our career," declares Ronnie Winter.
To celebrate the release, the band has also shared the lyric video for "Not Today." Watch and listen
here.
The 11 original songs on X's For Eyes found the band revving up their caffeinated pop sensibilities, throwing down the punishing riffola, delivering more electronic and ambient flourishes, and topping all of it off with Winter's high-pitched emoting. Factor in some A-list cameos from Sleeping With Sirens' Kellin Quinn( "Always The King") and Escape The Fate frontman Craig Mabbitt ("Worth It") and the end result is one of the best offerings of the band's career. For this album, Winter was able to reconcile the deep, sometimes nagging thoughts he'd been harboring, post-pandemic. When the proceedings get melancholy or troubling lyrically, the band is ready to propel these songs into pogo-popping dance floors, furious mosh pits or moments of reverent, tribunal phone-waving. It's always been a cathartic listen and now it has been super-sized with four additional songs that are sure to please the RJA faithful!
Formed in 2004 in Jacksonville, Florida, the band has accrued Gold and multi-Platinum singles—including their massive 5x Platinum hit single "
Face Down" (which has over 176 million views on YouTube), 2x Platinum "
Your Guardian Angel"(which has over 37 million views on YouTube) — and 2x Platinum-certified debut album, DON'T YOU FAKE IT, alongside numerous high-ranking radio chart positions and a robust digital history of over 1.5 billion career streams. "The core fanbase has always been there," Winter says. “It's a family band. Why? Because we stick up for people." Sometimes it's hard to believe that THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS began their expedition into the hearts and minds of a generation 20 years ago. Their blazing 2006 single "Face Down" delivered both anthemic choruses and a strident message about domestic abuse, achieving both sales accolades and adoration from crowds all over the planet.
