The Union Underground and SOiL Announce the 'Back To The 2000's Tour' this March with Special Guests Ra and Flaw

January 28, 2024

“Back To The 2000’s Tour” featuring The Union Underground, SOiL, RA, and Flawto kick off in March 2024

The “Back To The 2000’s Tour” features the return of Texas heavy weights The Union Underground, along with Chicago based SOIL and very special guests RAand Flaw. The tour launches in March 2024 and will feature each band playing exclusive material from their most popular albums that were released in the early 2000’s.

The Union Underground will perform selections from the hit debut An Education In Rebellion. SOiL will perform songs from their sophomore breakthrough album Scars. RA will play material from the album From One, and Flaw will perform songs from their debut album Through The Eyes.

The premise of this tour is to bring fans back to the days when festivals like Ozzfestgave new bands a chance to break through to the masses when the Nu Metal scene was thriving. Each band on the tour not only had massive hit songs at the time, but had also toured together and joined forces to create a massive heavy music scene.

According to The Union Underground frontman Bryan Scott: “ I’m looking forward to re-introducing the world to 'An Education In Rebellion', which in my clearly biased opinion, is a fantastic, timeless album! The continued love and support from Union Underground fans over the years has been overwhelming, and that devotion is exactly what has inspired the new music on the forthcoming album. Make no mistake, this is not a nostalgia tour. It’s the launch of a new chapter for the band and an opportunity for new generations of music lovers to discover us. And our longtime friends in SOiL are the perfect partners in crime for the experience! We will perform “AEIR” in its entirety, Across The Nation and a couple of unreleased songs from the new album. Let’s Get It On!”

SOiL bassist Tim King remarks: “Bryan Scott and I came up with this idea quite some time ago. I’m so happy we were able to bring all these bands together for what is sure to be a great re-introduction to this genre of music. The first tour SOiL did on the “Scars” album was with The Union Underground in 2001. Here we are over 20 years later doing it again. It just proves that great bands can last the test of time”

The “Back To The 2000’s Tour” kicks off March 1 in San Antonio, TX and circles through the Midwest and East Coast to end on March 23 in Joliet, IL.

Ra Announces 'The Intercorrupted Tour' with Awake at Last and Reddstar

May 23, 2021

Ra announced 'The Intercorrupted Tour' with Awake at Last and Reddstar that begins on August 20th in Madison, WI at The Annex and concludes on August 29th in Louisville, KY at Diamond Pub with September Mourning.

Musicality is the connective tissue binding and bridging Ra’s past to its present. It is also responsible for a sound so enigmatic it continues transcending time, resonating with a fan base that has yet to allow Ra to release its melodic grip on them. That grip is a culmination of years fraught with trials and triumphs and many lessons learned; however, perseverance and a passionate resolve pushed Ra far past its genesis to become a band still relevant in today’s ever-changing musical landscape.

In the 7 years since Ra’s last studio release, Sahaj has been hard at work replicating the formula for his success by producing other artists while the rest of the band has pursued independent projects; however, collectively, they feel now is the time for a comeback. What makes the timing so special is that all original members of the band will be together again to not only create the new album, but tour it as well. After a very successful re-emergence on 2020’s Shiprocked, the band has again tapped into the fan based that sustained them all these years.

Ra is:

Sahaj Ticotin - Guitar and Vocals

Ben Carroll - Guitar

PJ Farley - Bass

Skoota Warner - Drums

Ra released their new single titled “Intercorrupted” along with an accompanying video

November 1, 2020

RA - The official video for "Intercorrupted" by Ra from the album of the same name coming 3/19/21 on Wake Up Music Rocks!. Director and Cinematographer - Cur...

The single will be on the band's upcoming album, also titled Intercorrupted that will come out via Wake Up! Music Rocks on March 19, 2021.

"With everyone releasing songs about the state of the world in 2020, we felt that there was an opportunity to say something about the state of the mind. Divisiveness does not exist in a vacuum. Your cause most certainly results in an effect, making it impossible to truly cast blame for the things currently that we are all up in arms against. Your personal beliefs require an adversary or contrary position in order to germinate in the current world of social media and sensational news coverage. We are part of the global synapses in this hivemind world. I believe there is a little hope to evolve as a species if we don't redefine and accept our own role in creating the very things we abhor. We are intertwined. We are Intercorrupted" says Sahaj Ticotin.

He adds, "Since the beginning of the band, we've always wanted to make a ballsy video. Something cryptic but cinematic...with maybe a little action. We certainly bit off a lot with the concept but with Curt Pair filming it, we knew it was going to look like a movie. We shot the whole thing in one day which is ambitious enough but it was also 112 degrees in Arizona and we had on full suits. Ra has only had one other video in our 20 yr history as a band so we went big. The concept was for the band to play the villains but that we were not completely without ideology or reason. We believe that mankind has lost the right to have its freedom and hope and that for the sake of the world it must be hidden away. We are in the process of that when we get tracked down by our heroine who dispatches us one by one and then sets it all right again releasing hope and freedom back into the world. It relates to the song in that we are intertwined in our faults and fear and that we should not take hope and freedom for granted. I've always like the Matrix and Inception. We were trying to invoke elements of them both."

“Music is the heart of life and we at Wake Up! Music couldn’t be happier to present “Intercorrupted”, the first single from Ra’s newest album. As always, Sahaj Ticotin and Ra bring us the Alt Metal we have been craving and awaiting. This song was unforgettable to me from the first time I heard it. To have Ra on the Wake Up! label still feels like a dream. It is an honor to work with and support such pure artists. Ra’s single “Intercorrupted” as well as the coming album couldn’t be better! Prepare yourself for something great" says Pepper Gomez, Owner of Wake Up! Music Rocks.
