The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die have joined the increasing amount of rising punk/emo/etc bands to sign to the long-running Epitaph Records. They’re currently working on a new full length for the label, but in the meantime they’ve also announced a split with Rozwell Kid due on June 23 via Broken World Media (Derrick from TWIABP’s label) and a two-song 7″ called Death to New Years due July 28 via Topshelf, who released their debut LP. Regarding the signing, Derrick said:

Epitaph’s Punk-O-Rama Vol. 3 inspired 13-year-old me to begin a life of poor decision making. We are a band that likes to follow through on all of our terrible ideas so it’s great to be on a label that enthusiastically supports us in this.

They’ve also announced tour dates with Spraynard and Makeshift Shelters. No NYC shows but they’ll hit Albany, Rochester, Long Island and Pennsylvania. All dates are listed, with a video from their debut album, below…
