It’s official. The Fall of Troy are back together.
As you know, we’ve been covering TFOT for years, and were really bummed when they disbanded abruptly in 2010 — especially since drummer Andrew Forsman told us when In The Unlikely Event came out that there was no end in sight.
Last month TFOT played a series of reunion shows in Austin, TX, testing the waters and getting a feel for whether or not they should regroup. Today word comes in that The Fall of Troy are indeed back together and are completely DIY — booking their own shows and recording their own music.
It’s not too much of a surprise that the band are channeling their DIY roots — in fact, Thomas Erak used to book their early tours from a public library. Maybe we can expect a TFOT Haus show in 2014?
We haven’t heard any news yet about new music, but they do have a show lined up on February 22nd in Seattle at the Showbox. VIP passes go on sale tonight at midnight (PST) here; regular tickets go on sale at noon (PST) on Friday.
So what does this mean for Thomas Erak in Chiodos?
More to come.
