As Cities Burn, Come Now Sleep, In Stores Now From Solid State Records! Tour Dates Announced in October Alongside Dredg

On that "final" tour, something unexpected happened. The shows were packed. Kids were sticking around afterward to confess to the band how much their songs had meant to them, how they had helped them through hard times, how much they would be missed. Silently at first, each of the band's remaining four members (guitarist Christopher Lott, bass player Colin Kimble, drummer Aaron Lunsford and Cody) realized they didn't want to let As Cities Burn go. But it wasn't until a close friend of theirs sat them down that they started talking about it with each other. Hesitantly, the band decided to continue. Originally the plan was to have T.J. sing on a new album (though he wouldn't commit to touring) but that wasn't in the cards for As Cities Burn. "When we started writing, T.J. couldn't make it to practices because he had a job and lived three hours away," Cody says. "I was singing the words at practice just to have an idea about the vocals. Eventually, we realized it was best to let T.J. move on. I took over the vocals for good."
Since the release of their monumental 2004 debut, Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest, As Cities Burn has been through their share of ups and downs and come at us now in 2007 with an album that surpasses its predecessor with an abundance of creative ambition, stark honesty, depth and diversity. As Cities Burn have emerged stronger, faster, leaner, and even more thoroughly melodic than before, with none of their heavy instincts abandoned and nearly all of their potential fulfilled.
