As Cities Burn Band • Page 10

Lol yeah, well, last I heard they were in the studio, but who knows

 

Just watched this Facebook live - had it on in the background whilst I was working.

It's actually pretty cool. Cody is jamming away throughout and plays a few songs. They answer a lot of questions about the meaning of old songs as well as the upcoming tour. Aaron has also written a book about the Come Now Sleep/Hell Or High Water era of As Cities Burn.

 

Just saw these guys live with My Epic and Tigerwine opening. I was so excited to see My Epic (my favorite band) that it actually outweighed my excitement for ACB. Especially with all the back and forth in the ACB camp the last couple years.

But holy cow. They were amazing. One of the most unique sets I've seen because it spanned their entire discography, but they nailed every bit. The entire set actually had a flow to it that was absolutely perfect. They played a lot of SILYAYD and I forgot how incredible those songs were. There was nothing remotely off in the entire show and it rekindled my love for the band. I actually got really emotional during multiple songs and completely forgot how much their music meant to me and still means to me.

My Epic was terrific too. Awesome show overall. But I'm so glad I got to see ACB.

 

I need to see this band so badly

 

That's great to hear. I'd love to see My Epic live. As Cities Burn did pop over here a few years back and I loved it. They mostly played Come Now Sleep & Hell or High Water era songs though. I probably prefer those records to SILYAYD, although that album does have some of the best lyrics in the genre.

Whatever they end up putting out next I hope it rivals those three albums in terms of lyrical quality. They had an ability to make you feel things. I love that. I love your description of feeling emotional. Glad you had a good time!

 

All the bands on this tour are fantastic. And my boy Matt from Household is crushing it on drums for My Epic. Apparently they only had one practice before the tour started.

 

Did you see the Dallas show?

 

He was SO good!

Atlanta.

 

I was at Atlanta too! Small world.

 

Awesome! Where in the venue were you at?

 

Stage left at the front. I'm one of those guys. I like to feel the guitar amps destroy my hearing. Haha.

 

Big news in the morn, apparently

 

I really don't know what to expect from these guys.

But their three full lengths are so brilliant I still have confidence for something wonderful.

 

Tour with Silverstein and Hawthorne Heights incoming.

 

Ah, so not new music?

 

Not as far as I can tell. Maybe the tour will stir the creative juices.

 

Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein, and As Cities Burn. Feels like 2005.

 

I hate to say it, but opening for Silverstein just isn’t that big of news imo. It’s not like they haven’t done shows in the past. I honestly expected a new album or at least a headlining tour.

 

lame ass news

 

Yeah it doesn't really move me much, but I feel like the silver lining is that this is the most extensive tour they've done in a while. Maybe that means they have more coming down the road.

 

Apparently they've been playing a new song recently.

 

Tour dates if anyone was interested.

First full US tour since 2008. Wow.

 

Pirate Blues is such a jam. Love that song.

 

came up on my shuffle yesterday. what a jam.

 

Definitely one of my favorites of that album. HOHW is so good, sad how it fell through the cracks with the band issues going on. I re-listened to the Labeled Podcast for ACB yesterday, such a bummer how things derailed for them. I really wish their tour was coming near me...

Also, I need some new Labeled episodes, all of them have been so great
