When I woke to a text alert telling me Attack Attack had broken up, I legitimately lept from bed in my Boston home and scrambled to my laptop. Ohio’s Attack Attack! have been one of our most covered bands, and to hear that they quietly announced their break up in the dead of the night seemed strange. Then I logged on to realize the company behind the aforementioned text alert didn’t understand how important the exclamation point is in the band’s name and that, my friends, is how I learned the UK based Attack! Attack! were going to be parting …

WATCH: Underoath Perform “Reinventing Your Exit” With Aaron Gillespie At Their Farewell Show
January 27th, 2013 
James Shotwell The world said farewell to Underoath last night, but not before the band revealed a few last minute surprises.
In the midst of their final performance ever, Underoath stopped the music momentarily to welcome former drummer Aaron Gillespie onto the stage. Gillespsie left the band a few years back, but was one of the early members that helped the band develop their signature sound. The appearance was followed with both Aaron and current drummer Daniel Davison working together for a track, then Davison left the stage and allowed Gillespie to take the spotlight for one last rendition of the fan …

The Air I Breathe Announce Final Tour
January 3rd, 2013 Dan Bogosian
New Jersey metal band The Air I Breathe are entering their last days. So many bands fell by the wayside in 2012; hopefully, 2013 will keep the farewells to a minimum. That said, The Air I Breathe’s goodbye tour will feature support from For All I Am, Famous Last Words, and For Sirens & Sailors.
Their reason for breaking up, originally posted in November, is simple: all the band members have moved on to other things, be it other musical projects or life. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for what every soon-to-be ex-member does in the future.
For the full …

Refused Announce Last Gig Ever.
October 26th, 2012 Dan Bogosian When punk band Refused first got back together, no one could have expected the reunion would last. Other than the fact that after their demise they made a documentary on the turmoil that made them break up with the appropriate name of Refused Are Fucking Dead, the band’s whole belief was strongly anti-capitalism – so the whole idea of getting back for money didn’t seem to apply the way it does for the rest of reunited groups (At The Drive In, I’m looking at you).
We’ve known for sometime that this year would be it, to the …

LIFE AFTER THE BAND: An Interview With James Muñoz Of The Bled
February 28th, 2012 James Shotwell In a time where the world is flooded with artists vying for even a moment of your attention, it is becoming near impossible to find those brutally honest, hardworking, sold their soul to rock and roll types that so many attempt to imitate.
