As Bands Burn

[Frank Giaramita]

According to sources, As Cities Burn (www.ascitiesburn.com) has made the decision to disband after their summer Warped Tour dates. Expect more concrete information soon.

[rr_thecrowing]

Interesting. I didn't expect that to happen.

[jagseroni]

wow i remember seeing them on the lineup for purple door a month or two ago, and they were since removed. this is terrible.

my heart is about a thousand times the size it usually is, and now it's filled with black jelly beans [the bad licorice kind] and AIDS. my heart seriously sunk after reading this.

[thedullard]

what the fuck? not fair.

[thewebguy]

maybe they are still sad from when scoggin cameo'd during Admission:Regret to scream his part @ cornerstone '06 and totally stole the show. a sea of kids held his feet up while he screamed like i've never heard him/anyone scream before, and for a moment i thought, "this is why parents think these bands are evil lol"

but yeah that would be sad, they are my favorite loud band right now.

[Mattx]

A real shame if it's true

[chybertz]

Damn...

[manball788]

the fuuuuuuuuuck

[Freud]

:(

[SydBarrett 420]

LOL, that was quick. A decent first album and then poof, gone. Sucks for them

[TheShotgunCross]

yeah this sucks, i was hoping for new material...

[a speedo model]

they will be missed...

[Brenna]

I saw them once and thought they were pretty solid. That sucks.

[china white]

That's horrible, a great band, very very great

[straylighthaste]

their album was pretty damn good. hopefullly a few other projects will come from the disbanding.

[Roboman]

What the fuckin' hell.....

[BrokenWindow]

Man, I really hope this isn't true. They are one of my favorite bands to see live and I will really miss them. Please don't be true!!

[spansen]

uuuuuuuuuuugh

[rr_thecrowing]

I really wonder what happened.

[homicide hearts]

thats ridiculous. man this was one of the most underrated bands out there right now. i havent even gotten to see them yet!

[Justin Link]

i had to register just to say that this news makes me uber sad.

[Scott Weber]

wtf, that would really suck.

[12TREOS19]

this sucks.....a lot

[ThatGuy]

they were poised to be as big as underoath too. big bummer

[book of bros]

If this is true, As Cities Burns will be missed. :(

[redryder7]

dude...

[shane hennessey]

im not suprised...although i do love this band. no show will ever top their baton rouge hometown show last january or february (i forgot) in a church with the planning fallacy. hundreds of people were standing on pues and shit. that shit never happens in CT

[totallysweat]

good

[Rufio21]

YYYYYEEEEESSSS!!!!!!......keep em comming

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Wow.

What a sad break up that will be. They weren't the most original band out, but something they had I just loved. I play their cd pretty much three times a week, I love the message and lyrics it sends. They were incredible live and I will miss them very much.

I hope they change their mind after Warped Tour and realize how good they are.

If that can't be done, I hope they come out with new side projects, music will miss them if they don't.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

thats ridiculous. man this was one of the most underrated bands out there right now.

Very true.

For all those who haven't heard them, check them out.

[Matt_Dizzle]

Fuuuuuuck man. i love As Cities Burn. hopefully warped will make em change their minds.

Does this mean Maylene will be headlining their tour now in August?

Still sucks.

[mogwaifearsatan]

Eh, I like "Son..." but I honestly don't think these guys could have pulled another good one out.

[armorforchiodos]

that sucks alot, ive seen them twice and the 1st time I didnt know em, but by the second time i had their cd and was belting out the words to every song...after the show in Nashville last week, i dont see why they would consider it, because for an opening band, ive never seen so many kids singing the words and just goin absolutely crazy...i talked to the lead singer after the show and everything seemed fine...this really depresses me, i love these guys..

[thisisadisaster]

Does this mean Maylene will be headlining their tour now in August?

Still sucks.
ehh... thats what im wondering too.
i saw them.. tuesday night on the underoath tour and they said they would be back in august with maylenne and jonezetta... so i guess they are playing those dates too? either that or they are liars.

[alxneindecember]

i loved this band. isn't there 3 brothers in the band? they're on solid state records. i'd sure love to be in their position. and they're still really young, they'll end up regretting this later in life.

as you can tell this pisses me right off.

[solo.nate]

Shit.

[Criesofthepast7]

are you kidding me? this sucks really bad.

[an0n]

that makes me real real sad, i loooooooove this band.

[GreenJellyBean]

dude i was just starting to get into them. wtf.

[weworemasks]

damn, the differences in the news forum thread and the general forum thread are bi-polar opposites.
general forum thread about this: http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=140714
news forum is upset, gen forum is happy. i dont get it.
im really upset by this break up. ACB are one of the most intense bands. on record and live.

[jlewis154]

nooo

cody! let me know if youll need a musician for future endeavors!

[AreTwoKay]

Bummer

[Shatter_Glass]

Poop.

[ascitiesburn101]

ahh fuck... I really loved their material, but i think they're problem was playing live.. They never really got the crowd going.

[Romancebled]

i really hope this isn't true. as cities burn is an amazing band... and i hope they do realize that.

[shes.a.ghost]

They are breaking up for a number of reasons. The frontman, TJ, is getting married. I know more about it, but I have been asked to not say anything more. But something good is coming of it, I promise!

[minusthejosh]

Shit.

[MarkyMark1984]

i will be so sad if this is true. i was going to get my first tattoo inspired by one of their songs.

wow....still get it....they were such an inspiring band, one that will be remeberd for the ages,..

come on, if your going to get a lame tattoo get it of hawthorne heights, it will be even funnier 10 yrs down the line than a stupid ACB tattoo.

[dillonzach86]

Holy crap. I hope that isn't true. That band means a lot to me.

you're cool. the lyrics to one of their songs along with some other things inspired it. maybe it's lame to you but it means something to me.

[MarkyMark1984]

i just wanted to add that the lyrics as cities burn write are so much better than the lyrics that hawthorne heights writes. how could you even compare them?

[Diveinpuddles]

True story.

Their lyrics are incredibly passionate.

[xnovemberxx]

man this sucks. i love as cities burn. im definately going to the warped tour now. i gotta see one of their lasts shows.

[bigempty]

no bad blood.. everything is fine... tj is getting married and cody will start his new band soon... colin and aaron will most likely still play music too

[joshluke2003]

This is crazy!!! They are by far my favorite band!!! Their cd was the best release last year!!! I didn't see this coming! I thought they were writing new material, last I heard something like Mewithoutyou but harder. This makes me very sad!!!
