As Cities Burn, hailing from Mandeville, Louisiana, gained acclaim with their 2005 debut album Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest, characterized by TJ Bonnette's heavy screams and Cody Bonnette's clean vocals. Despite lineup changes and a split in 2009, the band reunited with TJ returning as a permanent member, leading the charge with Cody once again. Their new single "2020 AD" showcases a dark and intense sound, foreshadowing a no-holds-barred comeback, accompanied by a fall tour with Silverstein and support from Equal Vision Records.
