The Safety Fire calls it quits

2015-07-16 by DatBeefPudding | 21 Comments
In what initially started as an April Fool's joke on the bands Facebook page in a post simply saying: "We have broken up", has now actually become a cruel reality for fans.

Today the band posted:

"We had you guys going for a while there, ey? You truly were all April Fools...
However, the harsh reality is, we have actually broken up. Maybe we will do a farewell show sometime. If you want to grab some merch to show people you were once cool, or are now cool and know some defunct band that no one has heard of in a few months time, then click the link below. When they're gone, they're gone for good

Thanks for all the support over the years - from Cruisin' to Smüth Beats, we had a real swell time. Thanks to everyone who bought a shirt, came to a show, let us sleep on their floors, fed us...but most of all, thank you to those who ever said, shouted, screamed, mumbled or merely whispered....
Fuck The Safety Fire
".

Sad to hear this, band could've been something great. Mouth of Swords was awesome.

Pretty good band. Sucks to see them go.

Pretty strange way to address the breakup though. The statement seems so nonchalant.

Damn. Mouth of Swords was one of my favourites in 2013.

Glad I got to see them live though - they were really good.

Aw, fuck. I got a shirt of their's at a live show for when they opened for BtBam, The Faceless, and the Contortionist in Knoxville. It was pretty good.

Grind the Ocean is such a great album. I agree about their statement... Kinda lame and indifferent.

yeah i never really understood why they weren't more popular.

i guess the vocalists harsh vocals were somewhat inaccessible. although i dug them, i can see why others wouldn't

I can't say I was a huge fan of them, but they were definitely pretty good. I saw them live twice and they didn't disappoint either time, kind of a shame. Hope their members continue on in other bands or work in the music industry. Best of luck.
