Saosin Drop Out of Aiden UK Tour

Saosin have just announced that they will be cancelling their upcoming shows in the UK with Aiden. Here is their statement:

"We've decided to cancel our dates with aiden in europe this april-may. To be honest, were super bummed, the last time we were in the UK was 2007 with alexisonfire and those shows were awesome. But its just not the right time for us to be over there. I wish I had some elaborate story about members losing limbs while shark diving, but the truth of the matter is, we didn't get a record released In the UK and europe was a lackluster one at best. This is the reality of the times I suppose, downloading, bad business models, and the economy etc. Its all too blame, but the bottom line is, it costs a lot to tour, esepecially overseas, and its never been more important then now, to make sure as a band, that we are touring intelligently and not just because. We hope no one is super mad at us, and promise that once we get a home figured out for the record, we will. Be back and ready to give you the SAOSIN you expect Cheers friends and again, we apologize and hope you understand the circumstances."

Troy Falls.

The Fall of Troy has broken up. Here's the band's official statement:

Dearest friends from all corners of the world,

I write to inform you that after nearly 9 years, 5 full-lengths, 2 bass players, hundreds of shows, and numerous other achievements and follies, Andrew, Frank, and I have decided to end our career as The Fall of Troy.

This band has been my life, my love, the air I breathe, the food I eat, and what helps me sleep (and sometimes keeps me up) at night.  I love and cherish the music we've made, the times we've had, and all the great friends we've met along the way.  Andrew, Frank, and of course Tim, will always and forever have a special place in my heart.  But it has come time for us to call it a day.  After everything's said and done, there is no drama, there is no blow out, it's simply the three members of this band are on three different paths in our lives.

I always hold true to the fact that it's better to go out in style, to ride off into the sunset, than go down in flames.  This tour coming up with Envy On The Coast and Twin Atlantic will be our last go round, and we really hope that all of you will come out and celebrate what has been so unreal and unbelievable – let's dance one last time!

We would really like to thank everyone that's ever been involved with the band, managed the band, booked a show for us, let us eat your canned food, sleep on your floor, asked us for a picture, caught me when I've almost been dropped, put out a record for us, driven us through a late night drive thru, or anything else any of you could possibly look back on and enjoy what this band was...Fun.

So make sure you come out to "The Marked-Men of 2010 Tour" as it will be our last hurrah! We love you, and will be giving as much love as you've given to us at these shows. So that's that! We love you with all our hearts, thank you from the very bottom of them, and goodbye comrades.

R.I.P.

2002-2010

With A Heavy Heart,
Thomas Joseph Erak

PS. I have no intention to stop making music! Quite the opposite actually - but until then see you at the shows!

HelloGoodbye says Goodbye to Drive-Thru

HelloGoodbye are officially no longer signed to Drive-Thru Records. Here is the bands official statement ending the partnership:

"we've been unable to do anything for the past year and half as we've been locked in a lawsuit with drive thru records. two days ago we finalized the settlement and are officially done with each other. over the course of the past year or so we've been slowly recording our record off and on (knowing we had no means to release it at the time, and self funding it). now that we're free agents it shouldn't be long before we can be a real band again. we're going to quickly find a place to release this record, and become active again. us and absolute punk .net in a beautiful partnership.

forrrrrrrest"
