Alove For Enemies have announced that they are breaking up:
Alove For Enemies has been around since late 2000. During that time we have had our ups and downs, our highs and lows, our victories and our defeats. We have decided it is our time to step down. Alove For Enemies, means so much to each of us, we are at a point in our personal lives, where we can not continue with ALFE and have it been the same thing it is now. Rather than force it, and possibly have it crumble, we are laying it to rest.
This is something we all agreed on as friends, brothers, and band mates. We are each saddened by this reality, but agree it is a necessary one. Over the last seven years, we have gone through many things, from lineup changes, to tour horror stories, and non stop adversity. Remaining a strong ministry has always been integral to what ALFE is; We can no longer uphold that to the level it needs to be.
The band most recently released Resistance.

Boys Night Out have announced an Australian tour in support of their new self-titled full length.
We ran an interview with the band in July.
Our friend John B. Moore recently spoke to Dan Schafer of The Methadones about their new album, This Won’t Hurt…. The long-running Chicago pop-punk outfit discusses the band, the scene and the cyclical resurgence of music trends.
A new update from primary songwriter Kris Roe regarding the future of the The Ataris. Kris had this to say about the status of the band and what to expect from their new material:
We are actually writing at the moment. It is sometimes hard to find inspiration in the same things that may have inspired you when you were alot younger.. or put yourself in the same place where you were then. But musically I will always have a love in my heart for those bands that inspired me to start writing songs…. Jawbreaker, Samiam, The Replacements, Descendents… I very much enjoy the energy of playing music along those lines.
Even though artistically I may have changed personally. I do think The Ataris next record will sort of pick up where End is Forever and Blue Skies, Broken Hearts – Next 12 Exits… left off. After making a record such as “Welcome the Night” A record which I feel was very bold and honest artistically, and very much coming from the most truthful places in my heart and all that I was going through at the time.
I feel that today where I am at is sort of coming around full circle and just having fun again and being newly inspired by the art that made me discover music in the first place. So yeah, I am excited for recording again. I think you will dig the songs.
the band’s most recent album was 2007’s Welcome the Night.
