Judah & the Lion are preparing to embark on the journey of a lifetime in the band's new "Suit and Jacket" video, premiering exclusively with Billboard. The Matthew DeLisi-directed video builds in sync with the song's expecting opening, as it becomes clear frontman Judah Akers and the rest of the Nashville quartet are readying for something monumental.

Akers tells Billboard that the tone of anticipation that leads into a grabbing-life-by-the-horns, take-charge climax was no coincidence of storytelling in the video's narrative -- it was baked into the song since the beginning, brought on from life-affirming events.

"Suit And Jacket" is the band's new single and follow up to breakout hit "Take It All Back." Climbing to #25 on the Alternative Chart this week, "Suit And Jacket" crosses 2 million plays on Spotify as its video debuts on Billboard. "Take It All Back" lands at #28at Hot AC this week and remains at #13 at Alternative in its 34th consecutive week on the chart and has racked up over 16 million plays on Spotify since release.

On March 10th, the band released Folk Hop N Roll Deluxe, which takes the band's sophomore album Folk Hop N Roll and adds the Going to Mars Collection -including "Suit and Jacket" and 3 additional new songs: "Going to Mars," "Green Eyes," and "Conversations" - plus a special orchestral version of "Take It All Back."

The band wrapped up the first leg of their Going to Mars Tour last night with a sold-out show at Denver's Ogden Theater. The band will be back on the road this summer to hit multiple festivals including Bottlerock, Firefly, Governor's Ball and more before joining up with Incubus and Jimmy Eat World for their summer amphitheater tour. This fall they'll take on another leg of the Going to Mars Tour kicking off in September. Full dates are below with more to be announced!
