So, Shut Your Eyes And You’ll Burst Into Flames have split up. Honestly this was quite upsetting for me; I had been hoping for an album from them this year. Being truly honest I had hoped for an album from them last year, so the realisation that they would never release an album was not a pleasant one. This is afterall the band whose b-side I Will Meditate And Then I Will Destroy You won my award for song of the year in 2006. A fact made all the more astonishing when you consider that 2006 featured the release of ¡Forward, Russia!’s debut album.
Still, it’s best not to dwell on the downsides I guess. Really I should be happy they existed at all. There will be other projects from band members, that much has been confirmed, and there has been talk of the last few songs they recorded being released. This includes Airwolf, which is currently available to listen to on their myspace page. It’s a rather good song and you can also find I Will Meditate And I Will Destroy You there, if you are curious. There area few other top notch songs there and I will be continuing to listen to them and the other songs of theirs I have for quite some time to come. I’ll also be wearing my SYEAYBIF t-shirt, which will probably generate even more strange looks than before.
To an excellent band, I hope to hear more from members of SYEAYBIF in years to come.
