Nashville, Tenn. (June 26, 2013) - The bar has been set very high for new rock band WE AS HUMAN. As the flagship artist on the Hear It Loud imprint label (via Atlantic/Word Records) and the touted prodigy band of Skillet's John Cooper, expectations could not have been higher for WE AS HUMAN and their debut, self-titled release that hits stores this week. Fortunately for fans, WE AS HUMAN has delivered.

In addition to feature articles in the Houston Chronicle, HM Magazine, CCM Magazine, Rock Edition and an exclusive album premiere on Revolver Magazine, the debut album shot to the Top 10 on the iTunes® Rock Chart and No. 31 on the iTunes® Overall Chart. In addition, their lead single "Strike Back" recently broke into the Top 5 of the Christian Rock radio chart. Critically, media outlets have showered unprecedented acclaim on the new band, going as far as declaring WE AS HUMAN "perfect," "almost completely flawless" and "the epitome of what rock music is missing these days."

Here is a full sampling of the buzz that WE AS HUMAN is claiming:

"We As Human steps up to own their identity with a confidence and intensity rarely found even in long-established bands. Their self titled release is a perfect storm of searing riffs, dynamic vocals, and aggression channeled into lyrics fueling the struggle of death to self and rebirth to life."" - New Release Tuesday

"This album is perfect. The lyrics, the melody, the instrumentals and, of course, the choice in guest vocalists make this album flawless." - New-Transcendence

"This is the epitome of what rock music is missing these days. This entire record doesn't have one dull moment and will make those who give it a chance rushing to the next We As Human show." - The Front Row Report

"This album has the potential to blow everyone away." - HM Magazine

"Overall this is one of my favorite debut albums I have heard in a long time. The album was produced very well with just the right amount of mellow songs, digital sound effects, and heavy sound." - Christian Music Review

"While most bands seem to be steering towards an easy, accessible sound, We As Human is doing just the opposite. Their self-titled album is full of face-melting rockers that will have you pumping your rawkfist gleefully in the air." - Christian Music Zine

"This album is almost completely flawless." - The Core of Brutality

"We As Human's debut album is jammed packed with intense songs that will nip at the ears of the listener. It stays true to their core values while adding levels of energy and intensity that will appeal to fans who are looking for something more in rock music." - EMURG

In addition to the impressive critical reception for their debut album, WE AS HUMAN has electrified audiences nationwide in opening slots on the Winter Jam 2012 Tour, "Release The Panic Tour" with RED and will tout their new album on the Carnival of Madness Tour this fall. The band is set to shred before some of the biggest names in rock music, including Skillet, Papa Roach and Shinedown. For more information, visit http://www.weashuman.com/.
