D.Neeht,


it's been a little over a year since our last tour and some of you out there have kind of figured out whats been going on with us. we never wanted to burden you all with a formal announcement of any kind and cause some type of commotion- we just thought it would be better to kind of drift away nice and easy… i am writing this strictly speaking for myself and i honestly don't really know how pj anthony and nash will react to me being the one to write this, but i feel like it should come from me because ultimately it was me who decided it was best to leave things where they were. to me a song is like a snapshot of a moment, real or made-up, and the band that takes that snapshot is like a camera. i was really happy and proud of the pictures that came out of our little camera, but i would have much rather put in on a shelf for me and all of us to look at with fond memories than to feel this intense need to make it take high-def panoramic mosaics when maybe it was constructed to handle polaroid film. it's as simple as that. i guess someone could examine our inter-personal relationships and weird habits and attribute them to the reason for this decision, but we were like brothers and no clash was ever too great to slow us down. i hope that time won't obscure that fact…i know it won't for me. that being said, i think the real and only reason i am writing this is for you who have been fans of armor for sleep. even though it hasn't been a secret that we are not working on an album or touring, it has felt really weird to not come out and say that the needles been lifted from the record. you have always been so amazing to us and i know through all of our fancy little internet avenues we will always be able/willing/not creeped out/ to talk about life, death, armor tabliture, the needler, whatever your little hearts desire. pj anthony and nash are all amazing people who i've witnessed first hand probably more than anyone in the world as being super talented at whatever they do and i know whatever they choose to do will be amazing. i know you'll have their backs just as i will. as for me, i have been hard at work cooking something up. i have a new camera. i never like to blab about stuff until its ready and for this reason i wasn't giving play by play updates when it was still in its complete infancy…but i will get into it more very soon. i'm really excited, and for me as someone who has been working a long time at the art of writing songs and having these weird visions about how i see a band being presented, i feel like i've put lots of pieces together from the terabytes worth of experiences i've lived through…i know some people will probably always want to hear dream to make believe or something no matter what i'm doing, which is fine, but time is an arrow and i'm not going to try and argue with that…i know i will always  be myself and no matter what camera i'm behind i know you'll always recognize the hands holding it. thank you to everyone who's been supportive and listened to anything i've been  a part of in any facet. i can't wait to tell you more about things to come. Check back in about a week for something new…

hey everyone,

Our new ep, the way out is broken is now available for you HERE!

We really hope you guys like these songs and can't thank you enough for the support.

Love, afs

Starting today, you can purchase the download card for our new EP, The Way Out Is Broken, on tour during Projekt Revolution!! We know there are only a few dates left, which is why we are working quickly to get it available online for all of you who will not be seeing us in Misouri or Texas.

We are hoping these few songs will tide you over until we are able to get back in the studio and record a full-length album which will hopefully be soon. Thanks to everyone who has come to see us on Projekt Rev so far, it has been an amazing few weeks. We have lots of photos from our shows posted at our website: http://armorforsleep.com and will keep the site updated with news about the official release of The Way Out Is Broken EP.

Love, AFS

Hi. I am here to inform you that we have embarked upon our newest adventure. This adventure is the Projekt Revolution tour featuring linking park, chris cornell, busta ryhmes, atreyu, and hawthorne heights (to name a few). We are about 4 days in and already I can tell this is going to be one of those tours that acts as some sort of bookmark for our band. Here's the thing about it though. We play every day at 2 PM. I think gates open at 1 PM. To make a long story short, we want to see your sweaty faces at the shows!!! It really is an amazing time. There are billions of fun things to do and free things that big companies think you should have! I have decided for the summer to drop the guitar and just focus on singing my lungs out...pj is now a guitar wizard and can handle most of the noodling by humself. Anyways, we really hope to see you dudes and dudettes this summer. We just bought a grill. We will grill you burgers. Or veggie burgers. Depending on your views on vegetarianism. Stay hydrated. Its gonna be a hot one.

Love,
Ben
