Plus, Aaron Gillespie’s solo tour, Emery’s two new videos, Lecrae’s first book, and Silent Planet goes to Japan…

Well that was quick. twenty one pilots released the song “Ride” to YouTube last week and have since posted a full music video for the track. You can catch the lo-fi styled video on their YouTube channel.

With a huge history spanning top RadioU bands, Aaron Gillespie is planning his first solo, acoustic tour. The setlist will include songs from Underoath, The Almost, and music that has inspired his career. The tour runs July 2nd thought August 2nd.

We had a listen to “Thrash,” now Emery has given us two music videos as part of the release of their new album, You Were Never Alone. The videos are for the songs “The Less You Say” and “I Got Taken For A Bath” and are posted to their Facebook.

Just before leaving for european shows, Lecrae announced his first book. The book,”Unashamed“, will be out later this fall and in it he will open up about his childhood abuse; struggles with drugs, alcohol, depression, and suicide; and how he overcame it all.

Silent Planet are still on a massive summer tour over much of the country from now until mid July, where then they will take a two-week break before heading to Japan. They have five shows lined up in Japan during August 5-9.
