"There is no sadness on our side, and we hope there is none on yours. We will be playing a handful of shows across the country to try and give everyone an opportunity to see us one last time."


Tour Itinerary:

12/17: Los Angeles - The Troubadour
12/19: Chicago - Lincoln Hall

Im definitely driving from mass to see their last show. I saw them in boston on the last show of their spring tour and they may have put on the best show I've seen. I was a relatively casual fan but they had the stage presence of a hardcore band and played everything album perfect. sucks to see them go.

That's upsetting. They were incredibly enjoyable when they opened for Dredg and RX Bandits.

I hate myself now for not going to see them when I had a chance. I live in Florida, not likely that I'm gonna make any of those dates lol. Maybe by some celestial measure they'll post a southern date.

Nah, "Into the Flood" was excellent but their full-lengths weren't anything special

still a great loss, though

this sucks but all of the members excluding the vocalist are in a new band now and the style is similar to ATAL with a bit more of a jazz influence and no vocals. I can't remember what they are called.
