R.I.P. As Cities Burn

Quote:

we know there are rumors floating around about the future of as cities burn, so we wanted to clear things up.

tj is getting married this fall, and has decided to settle down, and begin life off of the road with his wife. he encouraged us to replace him, and continue with someone new in his place, but we have all decided that this band would not be the same without him. as cities burn was built on the personalities, work, and ideals of the five of us, and simply replacing a member would leave a void that would be impossible to fill. so we, as a band, have decided to end as cities burn.

as cities burn, the fans, and the times that we’ve all had over the past 4 years have been the most incredible experiences of our lives. we have cherished every moment, playing night after night in small towns, to small crowds, to the massive shows we’ve been able to share with you all over the past year. we are humbled by the love and friendships that we’ve been so blessed to share with each of you, and owe everything this band has become to the people that have believed in what we do. we hope that some of the ideas upon which this band was based will live on, that each of you will be encouraged, and know that you are loved. what an amazing time we’ve had, we owe the greatest times of our lives to each of you. thank you all for everything.

we’re so thankful that this summer we’ll have a chance to come to many of the cities that we’ve played over the past 4 years, and say goodbye to the friends we’ve made along the way. we hope that you’ll come out, sing along and hangout one last time. we love you all more than you know, and we’ll see you soon.

love,
tj, cody, colin, aaron, and pascal.

I'm gonna either see them in seattle or spokane.

I'm going on the 5th. Sad day. They had some of the best lyrical songs i've heard (of course...lyric-wise).

This news broke maybe 2 days ago...but still sad.

I'm gonna go to the one in Charlotte. I like em a lot. It's a shame they have to brake up.

I'm going to miss them a lot. They were really good, that's sad.

I got to see them for my last time today, loved it. They were amazing.
I got a picture with them too, I'll post later.

It'd be too far away for me. /like d'oh

poo, i love this band, and to rub it in i wont even be able to go to their last gigs, it will be sadto not have them around. :(

glad I was able to see them at warped tour, too bad I will miss them when they come back here.

I should try to see them on the 6th. It's closest to my house.

No dates near me.
Sad.

Love this band.

Crap, I forgot to reply last night. They're gonna put a new album, but they didn't say nothin' about more shows though.

As Cities Burn is Staying Together!!
Posted on July 14th, 2006 by acb

Thank you all so much for the emails, and conversations you have shared with us throughout the past month. It is because of the overwhelmingly positive response we have received from each of you, that As Cities Burn has decided to stay together, and record another record. None of us are joining any other projects, TJ will remain in the band, and we’ll be writing a new record this fall.

To clear up any confusion, here is what’s going on:

We decided at the beginning of March while we were on tour with The Bled that As Cities Burn would be over at the end of August. T.J. was getting married and had decided to move on with his new life and settle down. We all decided we could not replace such an important part of the band, so we started making preparations to end the band, deciding a final tour was our best way to say thank you, and goodbye to all of you. Morale in the band was at an all time low at that point, and we had completely lost sight of what we were doing, and the purpose behind it. We had become worn out by seemingly endless time on the road and the struggles of trying to maintain some kind of normal life while touring. We were tired and weary; no one had the strength to pull the band back together.

Now, months later, after being on our headlining tour for a couple weeks, we have had many opportunities to talk to you all about how As Cities Burn has impacted on your lives. Conversations we have had with many of you have been overwhelmingly touching and encouraging. Through all of this we have realized how much of a blessing this band is in our lives and the lives of many of our supporters. It has become clear to us that ending As Cities Burn right now would be extremely pre-mature, as there is much left for us to do as a band. We can’t even begin to express how thankful and blessed we are by all of you that have encouraged and supported us over the past 4 years, and we are so excited to be continuing on to do another record.

It was not our intention to be indecisive or deceitful through all of this, we deeply apologize for our inconsistency. Sometimes it seems that it takes a drastic situation to realize what is most important in our lives. Thanks to all of you for coming to our shows, and continually supporting us. Hopefully we will be seeing more of you as we finish out the summer and prepare to write a new record.

We love all of you so much, God bless.

-Colin, Cody, TJ, Pascal and Aaron
