These past two years have been the greatest of our lives, and so it is with a great deal of sadness we announce that At All Costs will be breaking up. What we had was pure: every show, every practice, every person we met, every place we played -- It's meant the world to each of us. Everything we have had has been more than we could ever ask for, and it was very difficult for us to come to terms with the idea of playing a last show. Our trumpet player Andrew felt that AAC was no longer the path he wanted to follow with his life, and the rest of us agreed that it would be best to finish the band on a positive note, with very much the same AAC with which we started.

We hope we have left as positive a mark on all of you as you have left on us. AAC was fortunate enough to do a number of east coast tours and play over a hundred shows during our short existence, never once slowing down. We watched the scene we had at home grow and transform, hopefully into a more accepting environment for all kinds of kids to come to together under something they believe in. The emotions and experiences shared through all of these shows are something that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.

AAC will play one last show on July 6, 2007 at the Masonic Temple, 112 East Main St. Meriden, CT with more info to be announced over the next week. After having no other choice but to cancel this summer's five-week national tour, it is hard for us to think about what the future could have held. However, we can all proudly say that for six kids who only wanted to play a few shows and be heard, this has been a dream come true.

Thank you all for everything:

-Chris Martin, Tom Chiari, Andrew Disilvestro, Ed Goodfriend, Brett Pieper, and Tim Casey
At All Costs (2005-2007)
