The Safety Fire calls it quits 2015-07-16 by DatBeefPudding | 21 Comments |
In what initially started as an April Fool's joke on the bands Facebook page in a post simply saying: "We have broken up", has now actually become a cruel reality for fans.
Today the band posted:
"We had you guys going for a while there, ey? You truly were all April Fools...
However, the harsh reality is, we have actually broken up. Maybe we will do a farewell show sometime. If you want to grab some merch to show people you were once cool, or are now cool and know some defunct band that no one has heard of in a few months time, then click the link below. When they're gone, they're gone for good.

Thanks for all the support over the years - from Cruisin' to Smüth Beats, we had a real swell time. Thanks to everyone who bought a shirt, came to a show, let us sleep on their floors, fed us...but most of all, thank you to those who ever said, shouted, screamed, mumbled or merely whispered....
Fuck The Safety Fire".

Everyone saw this one coming
|
| |
Saddening but could see it coming.
|
| |
Sad to hear this, band could've been something great. Mouth of Swords was awesome.
|
| |
Oh c'mon...
|
| |
Pretty good band. Sucks to see them go.
Pretty strange way to address the breakup though. The statement seems so nonchalant.
|
| |
what a shitty way to do it tho
|
| |
Saw them support BTBAM once, they were pretty dang good live.
|
| |
Damn. Mouth of Swords was one of my favourites in 2013.
Glad I got to see them live though - they were really good.
|
| |
sawt hem open for periphery and protest the hero once and had to walk out it was so bad. not sure why people liked them.
|
| |
Aw, fuck. I got a shirt of their's at a live show for when they opened for BtBam, The Faceless, and the Contortionist in Knoxville. It was pretty good.
|
| |
Grind the Ocean is such a great album. I agree about their statement... Kinda lame and indifferent.
|
| |
Fuck, really liked these dudes. Felt they were one of the bright spots in their genre.
|
| |
Props for sticking to the joke, guys.
April Fools > djent
|
| |
damn I really liked the last release
|
| |
what a shit way to break the news to your fans
|
| |
this made me incredibly sad. they were my favourite band.
here's hoping the members go on to make some new bands... Dez will always be one of my favourite guitarists.
|
| |
Fuck, Mouth of Swords was amazing. They never got the amount of attention they deserved.
|
| |
Really enjoyed their albums.
|
| |
yeah i never really understood why they weren't more popular.
i guess the vocalists harsh vocals were somewhat inaccessible. although i dug them, i can see why others wouldn't
|
| |
I can't say I was a huge fan of them, but they were definitely pretty good. I saw them live twice and they didn't disappoint either time, kind of a shame. Hope their members continue on in other bands or work in the music industry. Best of luck.

it's what made me love the band
