Grieves Counts Down To Together/Apart

GRIEVES COUNTS DOWN TO JUNE 21 RHYMESAYERS RELEASE OF TOGETHER/APART WITH DAILY EXCLUSIVE CONTENT FOR FANS VIA FACEBOOK
CONFIRMED TO PLAY ENTIRE VANS WARPED TOUR 2011



Grieves is counting down to the release of his highly-anticipated new album Together/Apart due June 21 on Rhymesayers/ILG. Beginning June 6, exclusive video content will be unveiled daily on his Facebook page (http://on.fb.me/grieves-ta) featuring sneak peeks into the making of the album as well as a clip of each song. Each of the 16 videos correlates with one of the 16 songs on the upcoming album.

From the prolific mind of Benjamin Laub, also known as Grieves, comes Together/Apart, the most recent addition to the formidable Rhymesayers Entertainment catalogue. The album is now available to preorder on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/preorder/together-apart-deluxe-edition/id440338714.

With the help of longtime collaborator and multi-instrumentalist Budo, his third album is a testament to the hard work he's put forth since 2007, touring, recording, and honing his craft. Fresh off a 40+ date national tour supporting Atmosphere, he will begin the Vans Warped Tour on June 24th.

Together/Apart demonstrates Grieves' artistic and emotional growth made manifest. His earlier albums, Irreversible, 88 Keys & Counting, and latest EP The Confessions of Mr. Modest held together strong and built the following of devoted fans excited for his latest installment. His Rhymesayers' debut is his proclamation of professionalism, 16 tracks created from years of hard work and constant touring.

Grieves has recently released videos for " Lightspeed," which premiered on Alternative Press and " Bloody Poetry," which premiered on Absolute Punk. SPIN describes "Bloody Poetry" as, "Part inspirational pep talk, part therapy session, and part crooning song of devotion, the track shows off Grieves' lyrical dexterity and a bleeding heart." Recently, "On The Rocks," which is currently Top 10 at Alternative Specialty, leaked over at HipHopDX.
