Modern Life Is War Breaking Up.[views:15801][posts:4]___________________________________ [Feb 19,2008 10:48am - cav nli ""] FUCK! well at least they are doing a final tour. ill be there. As recent rumors have suggested, Iowa hardcore band Modern Life Is War is indeed calling it quits. Formed in late-2001, the group has released material with Equal Vision Records and Deathwish Inc., among others. Prior to disbanding, MLIW will tour the U.S. one last time with a final show slated for April 26th. Here's a statement from the band: "There is no disaster or dramatic situation behind the break-up. All past and current members of the band are still good friends and there is no bad blood. We just feel like it's the right time and would rather end things on our own terms than let our band become a ghost of what it was in the beginning or to be ripped apart by outside forces. Our first show was on April 20th, 2002 in Tyler's parents basement. This makes our run as a band almost exactly six years. We want to send a huge thank you out to everyone who supported this band through thick and thin because you care about us as individuals, our music, our message or what we stand for as a band. We also want to thank all the people in the DIY/underground hardcore and punk scenes all over the country and world who work really hard and sacrifice a lot for little to no recognition or money because they love the music and message. I am really proud of all that we have accomplished but know that without the support of that community we would have never had a chance to tour and put out records for so many years. I don't want to get sentimental and there is no short way of wrapping up all my feelings about this band and these last six years. Above all... I hope we have made some people feel less alone and motivated them to think for themselves, be themselves and take action. Punk rock changed our lives. I hope we contributed something to keep the whole thing going. We are leaving soon... but The future is unwritten... so start writing it. Tour dates will be posted soon. Come sweat and scream and say goodbye to Modern life Is War." |

But you can't quite pretend. Still tasting youth's bitter exile here in your empty generation's wasteland... Where all the things that you've been clingingto are being ripped from your hands. Restless soul this place will never be your home. And if you wanna have it all... You've gotta let it all go. Before the adult world strings you up and skins your skinny bones clean to the bone. 'Cause all this time you've been searchin' for something real And now the pressure is coming down on you. You've gotta turn this despair inside out and turn it into your way out. 'Cause heaven knows you're sinking and I know we're much the same... So cheers to our rebel hearts... Not just another fuck you... But a bedside love song for a chosen few. We feel like we've been left in the wind to die in the dust... With no one speaking to us... So we are speaking up. Throwing out our anchor against the fear. Your revelation time is near. So try and listen to the voice urging you on... Saying... This is it kid... This is your last chance... And this is the only way to glory... And this is our last dance. |
