Nuclear Blast Records has announced the signing of Pennsylvania quintet Texas In July for all European territories. The band’s latest album, One Reality, which came out in North America in April via Equal Vision Records, will be made available in Europe on October 7 with bonus material. Furthermore, the group will go on tour with labelmates Tasters shortly after the CD’s release.
Commented the band: “Texas In July is thrilled that we have been given the opportunity to work with such a great label overseas!
“Last year when we traveled to Europe for the month of July, it was one of the best experiences this band ever had.
“We are looking forward to the tour in October/November with our new labelmates, Tasters, very much.
“We worked extremely hard on our new CD, One Reality, and are very thankful that our European fans will now have the opportunity to purchase our CD in stores near them, with exclusive content, and at a fair price, now that we are working with Nuclear Blast. Our good friends, twice-over tourmates, and U.S. labelmates, We Came As Romans have also joined Nuclear Blast, and it’s so nice to join them on Nuclear Blast, and so nice to be labelmates, once again!
“We are grateful to be part of the Nuclear Blast family, and we welcome them to the Texas In July family.”
One Reality sold around 3,300 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 173 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD landed at position No. 2 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
