Alternative rock act, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, have just signed to independent music label, Better Noise Music. They have also just released a re-recorded version of their ‘lost’ track, “Home Improvements,” and are at work on a new album, due out in Spring, 2025. The song was one of several originally recorded prior to their debut album, but didn’t make the cut, and only existed as a demos on YouTube. These, along with new material, will be released on their new full-length. Check out the new song and more below.

Ronnie Winter (vocals/guitar) elaborates: “In 2004, as a local, unsigned band out of Jacksonville, Florida, we recorded a batch of demos that we posted on social media and passed around everywhere we could, later these were known to fans as our self-titled album. This led to our first major label signing in fall of 2005. We wasted little time getting into the studio to give these songs a fresh new recording and that became the basis for our now 2X Platinum-certified debut album ‘Don’t You Fake It.’ Some of these songs didn’t make the cut due to studio time, album length, and whatnot. Over the years with file trading and YouTube, these demos found their way across the internet and became fan favorites in their own right, and became known as ‘The Lost Songs.’ Fans traded and would beg us to release them, as they were never officially released on streaming platforms.”
Better Noise Music president/COO, Steve Kline, remarks on the band’s signing: “We’re excited to partner with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus on their next release. The timing is perfect, allowing longtime fans to dive into new music while creating a platform for new listeners to discover the awesome songs from the band’s upcoming album.”
“What’s old is new again,” Winters announces. “We have reteamed with many of those involved with Don’t You Fake It for our upcoming album and we’re stoked to finally officially release a new recording of “Home Improvement”—a song about heartache and the ambivalence of love. It’s been one of the most requested of ‘The Lost Songs’ and will be released digitally for the first time-ever through our new record label, Better Noise Music. This isn’t nostalgia, this is right now, and there’s much more to come!”
