It's sad to hear, but hey, it happens to every band eventually. I'm just glad I was able to see you guys twice at The Elks Lodge. You guys seriously are some of the most boss people I've met, and you are definitely right that the music industry is a tough one. I will definitely cherish my signed CD. But also, it is good to know that you guys are still friends, you know? It takes a group of great friends to realize when something needs a break. Life can throw many things at you, rough or easy, and I think by what I just read, you guys definitely handled it maturely.
It is also great that some of the band is going to school, and I also can't wait to check out the new projects!

A little recollection I wrote:

I went to my first show way back when at The Elks Lodge in Peekskill, NY. I thought, I probably won't enjoy this. As I walked up to the back of the room, I noticed that the amp stacks had SOUND THE ALARM written on them. I asked my friend who they were, and she didn't know. So bands played, some good, some bad, and I was getting tired, but I was determined to find out who Sound The Alarm was. Finally we hit the final stretch. Tokyo Rose had just finished their set, and next up was none other than Sound The Alarm. As they set up, I sat watching, itching to hear this new sound....The set started. Immediately I was drawn in, so much that I felt my self humming the songs I didn't even know, trying to determine what the next line in the song would be. Needless to say, it was the best set in the whole show, and I think one of the best sets I've seen in my whole life, and after that I saw bands like Metro Station and Good Charlote and The Maine. After the set Brian walked up to us and asked us how we liked it and shook our hands. I was definitely really happy about that, haha. My friend and I both bought their album and got them signed. I ended up seeing Sound The Alarm again later on that year, and they didn't cease to impress me. They are definitely a band I will never forget.


All in all, for the time I knew you, you all rocked my world, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
And when you rejoice and visit New York, I will be first in line to meet and greet!

Love you all!,

Ethan.

 

I really sorry to hear this. I love your music.

That being said I wish you guys all the best with all that you do and I hope that one day you guys come back to Sound the Alarm.

 

i'm so devastated to see the official word on this, but i'm so thankful that i was able to catch you when you played in virginia beach in '07! you guys completely blew me away with your set, and it was so great to meet all of you! i actually have the poster you all signed framed and hanging on my wall, haha. stay inside was one of my favorite records released that year, and it's definitely one of my favorite records of all time.
thank you so much for everything, really!

best of luck to all of you in your musical endeavors! i look forward to hearing the new tunes, and i hope to see you all together again someday.
:)
 

That's depressing , really. But I completely understand it all.

I wish i would have come to more shows, I miss and WILL miss you guys like crazy.

Maybe in the future, we'll see eachother again! Woohoo. Let's hope for that.


I was reading this and everytime i got furthure to the end, I just kept sulking and sulking more and more. I remember, and I would specially like to THANK you guys with everything i got. You gave me my life as it is today. No lie. witrhout you i wouldn't be the way i am! Dur of course people say that meaning your music but I mean, legit. I seriously wouldn't be who i am. At my frist show, You guys played with Stay and Lansdowne and without meeting them and you guys, my life would be dull and boring. Thank you guys for being amazing people.

Really. I honestly can say, thank you more than life itself.

 

GOOD LUCK with everything you guys!! i've followed you the whole time...just remember me in Buffalo when any of you make your way up here.
i've had some GREAT times at STA shows!! KEEP IN TOUCH!!!!

I truly am gonna miss you guys. I'm just glad I got to see you guys for the first time..a year ago actually. =) I wish you all the best on your other endeavors. I can't believe it's been 5 years already,..it seems just like yesterday you guys were still Sleepwell. =) I just wanted to let you guys know, even though you are on definite hiatus, you guys are still my favorite band and I'm extremely proud to be a fan.

Definitely sad to hear and I'm glad I got to see you guys last May and am so glad I got the chance to meet and hang with you all, even if I was one of the three people in the audience, haha. Best of luck to all of you and am definitely looking forward for some stuff from you guys in the future.

 

Damn. I still have your ep from when you guys and myself were all in High School. I wish all of you the best. Take care guys.

 

NOOOOOOOO!! I'm going to miss you guys! I only got to see you guys once and it was the first time I had ever even heard your music and fell in love with it and was waiting for another tour! You will be missed and I'm glad to hear you all are working on other things. Wish you guys the best.
Keep rockin!
 

Wanted to tell you Cody...I live in Pittsburgh and I saw STA music on a myspace add...clicked it a long time ago...and was instantly hooked man. I don't get that hooked to any kind of music....but it really does upset me...you guys could go somewhere.....far....
