Armor For Sleep recently sat down to talk about their past, reunion, and where the scene is now.

From the Interview

There will always be kids passionate about it, but between 2003 and 2007 or 2008 is when this scene had it’s time that was going to be something that was going to stay or be a fad. Based on certain factors and certain people’s decisions who are in certain taste-maker bands, it just went sour and went the wrong way.

So, if we do other things – when we do other things – it will be outside AFS.

Armor For Sleep will be playing a headlining show at the Irving Plaza in NYC on July 14th.
