FloopFiller Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Surprised by that as I’d kind of assumed they’d be disbanding soon enough anyway after they did this last round of shows. Wonder if they’ll continue beyond Slam Dunk or if they’re just gonna fulfill their commitments and then bounce. Sounds like the former but seems strange to continue the band without Matt this late in to their career, although understand the rest of the band have bills to pay and might just want to continue on.

foolee Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Urgh that’s really annoying as I’ve not seen them since the reformation. Makes me less bothered about catching them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their statement on Facebook explicitly says they're going to release new music "While Matt moves on, the rest of us have come out of our recent ’20 Years Casually Dressed’ anniversary tour with a renewed spark and desire to create new music together, for the first time in this lineup for many years. We’ll keep you updated on that in due course, but suffice it to say that we wouldn’t be entertaining new music if we didn’t feel the material we’re currently writing would hold up to the legacy of what we created back in the day. We hope you agree with us on that, and look forward to sharing with you next year." 8 minutes ago, foolee said: Has that been confirmed? Also confirmed in their statement on Facebook "As far as Slam Dunk Festival next May, we’re very pleased to share that we’ll be joined on vocals for those shows by our excellent Welsh brother Lucas Woodland, of the wonderful Holding Absence. We’re honoured that he’s lending us his immense talents for the weekend, and know that he’ll do Matty proud. We’re stoked for what will be an incredibly exciting and unique couple of performances that weekend."

That’s a real shame that Matt isn’t gonna be part of it but here’s hoping they can deliver anyway. Look forward to hearing what they’ve got.

JimMacVeigh Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 To be fair, Matt’s voice has been shot for years, so it’s probably for the best he’s chose to leave. A shame, but the new vocalist does interest me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Palaye Royale’s new song Dead To Me is an absolute banger, for fans of MCR if you’ve not checked them out previously. Good live band as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Spoon Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Slam Dunk France announced. Unfortunately clashes with Foo Fighters in London so wont be able to go. I enjoyed the Italy version last year so curious to see if that goes ahead again. Would take Holding Absence and Underoath in the UK.

Rusty Spoon Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Mallory Knox unsurprisingly added, notice that they've said exclusively in the announcement so not sure theyll pop up at anymore festivals this summer.

DomDom1984 Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 I've seen Mallory Knox a couple of times. Purely because they supported a load of bands when they were around. Didn't mind them but not exactly an eye opening announcement for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't much that is going to turn this into a ticket purchase. The Interrupters would be my headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wording is very specific, just means they're the first show back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
