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 …

WATCH: Jack’s Mannequin Perform “La La Lie” To Close Their Final Show

November 13th, 2012 James Shotwell

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re probably well aware that pop rock favorite Andrew McMahon’s side project turned full time musical force, Jack’s Mannequin, recently came to a close with a series of performances in California. I know some of you made the trek to out West to share in the occasion, but the majority of us were left to cry ourselves to sleep while listening to Glass Passenger b-sides for the hundredth time. So, in hopes of bringing the final farewell to everyone, we came across a clip of the final song from the final performance and …

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 …

UTG has just received an email from Valencia announcing that they will be splitting up in the near future.

In a letter to fans, the band wrote:

Sky Eats Airplane confirm break up

July 15th, 2011 James Shotwell

Skye Eats Airplane have confirmed long-standing rumors of their break up. A statement from Zack Ordway can be read below. We wish the now former members the best in all their future endeavors.

SEA has endured a lot, from business problems to lineup changes to internal problems with specific members. I personally feel that the band was neglected by its label and management, which really kept the band from moving forward. But what really broke our spirits was the addition of SEA’s latest frontman Bryan Zimmerman.

I will admit we came to our decision on Bryan in a hasty manner
