Underoath announce farewell tour and anthology album

Groundbreaking metalcore act UNDERØATH are formally announcing their plans to disband following a remarkable 15-year career that made a monumental impact on millions of fans and forever changed the face of heavy music.

“It’s sad to say that we feel like it’s time to close this chapter, but we have never seen things more clearly,” says vocalist Spencer Chamberlain. “These have been the best years of my entire life, and I owe that to every single person who ever supported this band along the way. This wasn’t a quick decision by any means. It’s just time for us to move on.”

The band is closing an era during which it served as a pillar of the heavy music scene. UNDERØATH formed an indelible bond with their massive fan base through relentless touring in front of sellout audiences on six continents, as well as the early adoption and mastery of social networking that helped bridge the divide between band and fan - resulting in the band becoming one of the first with 1 million ‘likes’ on Facebook as well as a tally of more than 70 million plays on MySpace.

The Tampa, Florida-based group released seven acclaimed albums in total – including the Gold-certified mid-2000s releases They’re Only Chasing Safety and Define the Great Line – that collectively yielded several groundbreaking videos, Grammy and Dove Award nominations and total sales in excess of 1.3 million units.

On the road to becoming one of hard rock’s biggest success stories, UNDERØATH created a deep and enduring culture surrounding its music and message and became that rarest of things in the music world: a band that actually meant something, to millions of fans around the globe.

UNDERØATH will cap its incredible run with the release of a career retrospective album, Anthology 1999-2013 – released November 6 on Solid State Records. With tracks culled from their 1999 debut, Act of Depression, through the instant classics on 2010’s Ø (Disambiguation), Anthology 1999-2013 is an essential collection of songs that celebrates the evolution of this seminal band.
Pushing Anthology 1999-2013 beyond a mere retrospective, the release gives fans one last chance to hear newly recorded material in the form of new tracks “Sunburnt” and “Unsound.” Recorded with longtime producer Matt Goldman, the two new songs represent the final material recorded by the band.

“Over the past decade or so of our lives, we have been able to live a dream traveling the world, playing music that excites us, and meeting more amazing people than we could have ever fathomed,” says keyboardist Chris Dudley. “This couldn’t be a more bittersweet moment for us. We have accomplished more, met more friends, seen more places and have just done more than we could have ever imagined, and we really wanted to just go out on the highest note possible. That’s why we have put together a group of great friends and musicians for what will be our final tour ever. We are taking every moment of this tour as an opportunity to say goodbye to you all, as well as celebrate what has taken place over all these years. The love we have and the debt of gratitude that we owe to all of you is not able to be measured in any way.”

That farewell tour will commence in 2013, featuring fan-favorite songs that span the entirety of UNDERØATH’s career. Further details to be announced next week.

“We don’t take this very lightly and it’s heartbreaking for all of us,” Chamberlain says of the band’s announcement, “but all good things must come to an end. We love all of you and hope to see you again soon.”

Sandusky Changes Name to All Kings All Poets

Corey Keller, best known for his time in A Sequence Of Ghosts and as a solo artist, had launched his new band Sandusky with longtime friend Duncan Mathew back in July. While the band tried to focus on the music and their message, the backlash against the name became louder and louder over time reaching a peak where the band had no other choice but to change the name.

The project will release their debut record this Thursday, October 4^th, entitled What We’ve Become. The release will feature the final version of the previously released “Under These Lights” demo, the full band version of “Forgiveness,” and the new single among others. The new single, entitled “What I Need,” features Aj Perdomo of The Dangerous Summer and may be heard on Facebook.

The band has issued an official statement that reads:

“First off, thanks to all of you for your enormous support already! We are super blessed, and super appreciative. All of you gave your support from the start, and we’ll always remember that. Now, we hope your support will grow with this announcement.

We have made the decision to change from Sandusky as the band name. We know this will be a relief to a lot of you. We are, as of today, “All Kings All Poets”. Nothing about us as a band is changing, just what we call ourselves. The reason is the expected….the name. The reason we stuck with it is because we loved it. But, we realized as time went on, that it was going to be a big a problem. Especially with how short that time period was. The thing we don’t want is for people to not hear our music, or our message, because of our band name. We also do not want to be prideful, and offend people with something like a band name.

We apologize to anyone we may have offended. We hope you’ll give us another chance. For those who have supported us through this whole phase, we are extraordinarily grateful, and hope we still have your support, and even more.

So now!! Our record releases on Thursday, Oct. 4th. We are so excited to share this with you! And even more excited about everything to come with this next year! We hope you’ll stick around. Thanks for your time.”

Namesake to Embark on Fall Tour with Eve6 And Everclear

They Will Rock You said, “Namesake are ready to make their mark on the pop-punk scene.”

The band’s current single, “The Movement,” is starting to create a buzz of its own. Pure Volume says, “they work through each thoughtful verse with thunderous percussion, massive guitar riffs, deeply melodic vocals and an unwavering sense of spirit.” “The Movement” is streaming now on SoundCloud, and the band recently shared a stripped down acoustic video version.
