Senses Fail Announce 10th Anniversary Tour
“I am humbled and excited to be able to play these songs, some which have never been played live,” frontman Buddy Nielsen said. “I look forward to reliving moments in my life with a room of people who are doing the same.”
The 2004 album peaked at No. 34 on the Nielsen SoundScan chart and has sold more than 400,000 copies.
Nielsen has some thoughts to share with you about the significance of the LP.
“I have spent the better part of my life pursuing a dream and now, purposely, to look back and clearly be able to see the peaks and valleys, the difficult personal times, the relational sacrifices that were made, as well as the joy, excitement, youthful ignorance that was painfully present at times,” he said.
“It is all very outstandingly grounding and fills me with equal parts nostalgic joy and gratitude for everyone that has shared in this band, past present and future, band member or business partner.
“We were all very young when we wrote and recorded this record in a half recording studio, half go go bar, run by the Russian Mob in Dover, NJ. None of us could have imagined the places it would take us, to now retrace those steps back in time, is a little frightening but more so exciting. I have very fond memories of the journey that was started with the record and I truly have deep love for everyone that was involved.
“All of us have gone separate ways but we will still forever share a bond, a record that has its own life and will stay unchanged for the rest of time.”
Along with Nielsen, Senses Fail features guitarists Zack Roach and Matt Smith, as well as bassist Gavin Caswell. Poison The Well drummer Chris Hornbrook will be joining the guys on the upcoming tour.
