Attack Attack! Call It A Day!

Attack Attack! (US) have announced they will cease to exist following their upcoming tour in May.

The announcement came via a post on the Ohio band’s official Facebook page on Monday evening, confirming that their (rather ironically named) Back in Action US tour will end their six-year lifespan.

Guitarist Andrew Whiting and drummer Andrew Wetzel wrote:

"Well everyone, it’s been a wild ride for Attack Attack, but I think it’s about time Whiting and I take some time to write this note.

"We want to start by thanking every single one of you that has ever come out to a show, bought a shirt, gotten in a fight over crabcore, or spent the time to send us notes online. We have been insanely blessed to be able to do what we have done with AA and we think it’s time that we wrap up this chapter in our lives.

"Yes, this means exactly what you think it means. The Back in Action Tour will be Attack Attack’s final and most ironic tour.

"After 6 long years of playing in garages, VFW halls, clubs, open air festivals, and everything in-between. We’ve decided it is time to lay AA down for good.

"You are all beautiful, wonderful people, and we want you to know that we deeply appreciate everything you have done for us.

"We are sad to lay Attack Attack to rest, but are very excited for what is next in this new chapter of our lives.

"Stay Tuned!!!

"Much love,

"The Andrews"

Since 2007, Attack Attack! have released 3 studio albums and been through a number of line-up changes - most notably the departure of co-founder Austin Carlile in 2008, who went on to form metalcore outfit Of Mice & Men.
