The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus started out as a local band in
Middleburg, Florida, which is south of Jacksonville, according to The Red
Jumpsuit Apparatus' official website. The name, "Red Jumpsuit Apparatus", was chosen by placing random words on a wall, and then blindfolding one of the members and choosing three words. As a result "Red Jumpsuit Apparatus" was pieced together.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus released their demo, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus in 2005. They then released a demo tour EP with "Ass Shaker", "Justify" and "Face
Down" demo versions. Later in 2006 they released their first LP, Don't You Fake
It with the singles "Face Down", "False Pretense", "Your Guardian Angel", and
"Damn Regret", which was certified gold on November 27, 2006 by the RIAA for
sales shipments exceeding 500,000 copies. As of February 2007, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus will be taking part in the US Take Action! Tour organized for the
prevention of youth suicide, along with bands such as My Chemical Romance and
Rise Against. Their song "In Fate's Hands" is featured in the video game Madden
NFL 07.
