We are excited to announce that we will be embarking on a very special headlining run this June/July. Since we’ve always felt like our songs come from a more Fall/Winter state of mind, and as a nod to our latest addition, we are calling the tour “There Is No Summer”. Every night we will be playing songs from our entire catalogue-something we’ve been itching to do. A portion of our setlist will be voted on by you guys - more info on that soon. We will be joined by a couple amazing bands @spanishlovesongs and @flycatcherband . General tickets go on sale Friday at 10am local time. VIP packages (which include entry tickets) available NOW! Armorforsleep.com for all tickets and VIP.

Our new full-length album “There Is No Memory” is out now! This album is about stepping outside of every-day life to appreciate the paths we have all taken to get to exactly where we are today. It’s about looking back at events that may have hurt us that we have had to wade through to arrive at our present lives. But it’s also about appreciating how the scars we didn’t ask for can sometimes become the strongest parts of who we are. This is a deeply personal record, but it is made that much more special knowing that you guys are here with us. Thank you to everyone who has been with us since the beginning, and thank you to everyone who has maybe just found out about us recently. We are grateful for you all. Huge thanks to @samguaiana for taking this album on and for being the best producer we could ask for. Thanks to @kalajianofdoom for mastering it, and thank you to @equalvision for being our home base and relentless supporters. Cheers guys. Let us know what you think. There Is No Memory 1. The Outer Ring 2. Breathe Again 3. In Another Dream 4. I’d Set Fire 5. Maybe The Sky Will Break 6. What A Beautiful World 7. A Sky Full Of Black Holes 8. Ice On The Lake 9. Always Daylight 10. Last Days 11. All The Best

Can’t even really begin to explain how amazing Japan is. Being 25% Japanese I always wanted to go to feel somehow more in touch with that part of my heritage. Felt truly lucky to get the chance to go over there… and all of that while getting to play some @armorforsleep shows and having the best honeymoon imaginable with @kaileycost . What a special place and a special trip wow. Already can’t wait to go back.

Get your VIP packages now before they’re gone! We will be hanging with VIP ticket holders inside the venue an hour before doors open every night. We have some exclusive goodies to give away which will be cool, but the best part of VIP for us is getting some quiet time before the chaos of the show to chat one on one with you guys. We don’t just do a handshake and photo opp and shuffle everyone along, we really do love making the time to get to talk to everyone there. We wish we could chat with everyone who walks through the venue doors to see us, but this is a close second. We open the floor to you guys if you have any questions about our songs, our gear, our deepest hopes and dreams-whatever you guys want to chat with us about really. We also have a platinum package where you can hang out side-stage with us for the first few songs of our set to see what we get to see on stage every night. All tickets and vip on sale now at armorforsleep.com. Can’t wait to see you all soon

An important message from the band. As you know, we are heading out on tour June 11-July 12. We intend to play songs from our entire catalogue. We have missed playing some material in recent years and we’ve heard from you guys about some tunes you’d like us to play. To make sure we really hit what you guys want, we are formally asking you guys to request 3 songs each (per person) that you would like us to play. Just drop the song titles in the comments and we will go through and make a list of all the requests and whichever songs get the most votes will be added to the songs we had already been preparing to play on this tour. We might swap out some of these fan selections throughout the summer. This might be a spoiler, but more likely than not we will be playing a few of our more popular songs…so no need to vote on “car underwater” or “the truth about heaven” etc etc. All songs from what we’ve ever released are fair game. Bonus points if you also drop in the comments which city you will be attending. Feel free to tag your friends to get their votes in too. Cheers!

Imagine being in a Jersey basement on NYE 1999 and @geoffrickly from @thursdayband walks down to play their first show, but also in that basement is @savestheday @gabrielsaporta @ricardosaporta and @armorforsleep 🤯 Hear the rest of this conversation with @benjorg wherever you listen to podcasts! #armorforsleep #thursdayband #savestheday #midtown
