A LONG-AWAITED COMEBACK.

The Jesse Lacey-led band had just released their 2017 album "Science Fiction" which marked their first #1 LP on the Billboard 200. At the time, it was the band's first new album after eight years of waiting. Shortly after a couple of shows, the band disappeared from the public eye following allegations against the frontman. He admitted that his actions had caused "pain and harm to a number of people."

Lacey released a statement of his apologies at the time, owning up to his mistakes. Now, the band is ready to head back and bring closure to their fans following their abrupt halt. 

Over the past few months, the band performed one-off gigs and LAcey also had a solo performance in Nashville last March. The intimate set shared classic favorites and new music, including a song "Death."

Speaking about the passing of Miles, his stepson who passed away in 2021, "Grief is a very hard thing to navigate, and I have found that for me, music lessens the poison of it," Lacey told the crowd, as cited from Billboard.

With a full tour coming right up, fans have been coming together in support of the emo rockers.
