William Beckett Joins Equal Vision Records

Former The Academy Is… front man William Beckett has signed to Equal Vision Records, the solo artist commented:

“I’ve been a fan of EVR and its roster since I was listening to The Stryder and Saves the Day in high school.For months I was approached by labels but after the first conversation I knew EVR was a perfect fit; I can make exactly the record I want to make.”

Beckett is currently recording his debut Equal Vision Records release, a full-length album, in his hometown of Chicago, IL with producer Marc McClusky (Weezer, Ludo). He will next hit the road on the What Will Be Tour, a month-long US solo headline run that kicks off on March 22 in Dekalb, IL; and will perform on the entirety of the 2013 Vans Warped Tour this Summer.

He previously released a trilogy of EPs — Walk The Talk, Winds Will Change, and What Will Be, and the Pioneer Sessions album (a collection of twelve acoustic versions of songs from each of the EPs) — all of which was released in 2012.
