Breaking Benjamin pieces together more shows
With the launch of their summer tour about a week away, rockers Breaking Benjamin continue adding dates to the run, which backs the group's forthcoming album, "Phobia."
The band's schedule, which still kicks off July 21 in Philadelphia, now features about a dozen new August shows, including a number of new shows that will see the band open for Staind and share the stage with groups including Seether, Soil, Evans Blue and Dropping Daylight. Details appear in the itinerary below.
Sandwiched in the midst of the group's road trip is the Aug. 8 release of "Phobia," which features the band's latest single, "The Diary of Jane." The music video for the cut is streaming at Breaking Benjamin's website.
The site also features the "Phobia" album-cover artwork and a complete track listing.
The first pressing of "Phobia" will include an acoustic version of "The Diary of Jane," which will be deleted from the set for subsequent shipments, according to Breaking Benjamin's website.
"Phobia" follows Breaking Benjamin's 2004 platinum set, "We are Not Alone," which spawned the hit singles "So Cold" and "Sooner or Later."
