Nostalgia Post #10: Armor For Sleep @ Stingrays 4.12.09

In the wake of Armor For Sleep's recent break up, I decided it would be fitting to take people back to their beginning. Back in April of 2002 Armor For Sleep still had their original line up with Paul Abrahamian on guitar and AJ Resnick on drums, their debut album was still over a year away from its release and they were still promoting their original 5 song demo, which included "Dream To Make Believe", "Slip Like Space", "All Warm", "Phantoms Now" and "Pointless Forever".

April 12th Armor For Sleep shared the Stingrays stage at Birch Hill in Old Bridge with Welcome Home Travis, Tokyo Rose and others. Soon to follow was a tour with Midtown, a Skate & Surf appearance and a record deal with Equal Vision records, but even those events were just the start of the bands career. Unfortunately on October 28th Singer/guitarist Ben Jorgensen issued a statement confirming the disbandment of Armor For Sleep, putting what fans had been speculating for months to rest.

Cool- Stingrays was the second stage at Birch Hill? The local bands one? I didn't realize it had a name.
