As Cities Burn (ACB) is a Christian Post-Hardcore band from Baton Rouge, LA that formed in 2002.
As an unsigned act, the group accomplished surprising success touring and selling thousands of copies of their two EP's. They drew the attention of Solid State Records (a division of Tooth & Nail Records that specializes in heavier hardcore, post-hardcore, and metal bands), which signed them in 2004.
ACB released its first full length album, Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest on June 21, 2005, and was featured in Solid State's Young Bloods Tour with The Chariot, Showbread, and He Is Legend. In 2006 they toured with The Bled, Protest The Hero and Since By Man.
On June 10, 2006, the band announced the end of As Cities Burn, but in early July--after an outpouring of support from fans--decided to remain together. Both announcements are posted below. The band's final concert was to be on August 19, 2006 at 18:30 at the House of Blues in New Orleans, LA. However, soon afterwards the band reversed their decision, stating they would remain together and record a new album.
In summer 2006, on what was to be their last tour, they parted ways with bassist Pascal Barone, shortly after their announcement that they were staying together. Pascal left on good terms and the band says that they have remained good friends. For the remainder of the tour they performed with Robert Chisolm, singer of Tooth and Nail Records band Jonezetta. After the tour they returned home to record a new album, with current guitarist Colin Kimble playing bass.
