After eight years as a band, Washington-based progressive post-hardcore trio the Fall of Troy have decided to throw in the towel. The band, which formed in 2002 and have released five albums, recently revealed that their upcoming tour will be their last.
Emphasizing that the band will remain good friends, guitarist Thomas Erak released the following statement:
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!
The Fall of Troy's most recent album, In the Unlikely Event, was released in October 2009. Their final tour dates are listed below. Canadian fans can catch them in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
