Attack Attack! Breaking Up: “We’ve decided it is time to lay AA down for good”

by | Apr 22, 2013

Attack Attack! announced plans to break up.

In a statement posted today the band said, “We want to start by thanking every single one of you that has ever come out to a show, bought a shirt, gotten in a fight over crabcore, or spent the time to send us notes online. We have been insanely blessed to be able to do what we have done with AA and we think it’s time that we wrap up this chapter in our lives.”

“Yes, this means exactly what you think it means. The Back in Action Tour will be Attack Attack’s final and most ironic tour.”

“After 6 long years of playing in garages, VFW halls, clubs, open air festivals, and everything in-between. We’ve decided it is time to lay AA down for good.”

“You are all beautiful, wonderful people, and we want you to know that we deeply appreciate everything you have done for us.”

The band had been working on a new record with vocalist Phil Druyor (I Am Abomination). No word on if it will see the light of day.
