Rockers Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are getting ready to release their new album and launch phase two of their Red Jumpsuit Alliance Guardian Angel Foundation’s charity work.

The band – whose last album, Don’t You Fake It, went gold in the US in 2006 – established their charity to support individuals affected by domestic violence, to break the cycle of abuse, and to contribute to research that focuses on management of acute hyperglycemia in hospitalized patients.

“The first phase was mainly dealing with domestic violence on the last record,” singer/guitarist Ronnie Winter said during an interview with LiveDaily. “On this phase, phase two with the second record, we’re focusing pretty much primarily on underfunded high school music programs. We’re scouring the country and very selectively picking high schools by my choice only, and if they need money and I think there’s a legitimate need there, we’re gonna for no reason swoop in and help them out.”
