Too Pure To Die breaks up

Iowa hardcore band Too Pure To Die has called it quits. Formed in 2002, the group has released material with Trustkill Records and Sumerian Records. Guitarist Jordan Peterson had the following to say: "TPTD is breaking up because we all felt like we had accomplished our goals... we went overseas, made a career record, and toured the US relentlessly. We have one show coming up on October 4th in Des Moines and another 2 shows with the original line-up playing all old songs on November 6th in Des Moines and 7th in Minnesota. These dates mark the end of an era for us, and we hope that everyone from the Midwest is there to celebrate it with us. A couple members are back in school and a couple are working and developing new projects. We want to thank Trustkill for all of their help, as well as Lucas Keller, Ian Friedman, Jamey Jasta, and everyone who ever came to our shows, bought a t-shirt or let us crash on their floor. Thanks again for everything."

This band was awesome! They sounded just like old school Soulfly. Sucks they broke up.

shit_spasm 9/2/2009 7:48:45 PM

About time, this band turned to shit. Should have just stuck to being a straight edge hardcore band instead of the numetal/pantera rip off stuff they were doing the last few years

XMxLX 9/3/2009 11:11:36 AM

killwhitneydead > too pure to die. its funny that they say "we all felt like we had accomplished our goals" they must have set their standards really really low. who wants to be a "b list" I mean a "d list" band.... truth is, they never sold

xchouinx 9/3/2009 11:26:03 AM

what happened to the old signer ?!

punch_that_cooter 9/3/2009 1:08:03 PM

NoCareEver 9/3/2009 2:40:45 PM

A fake one-person band can't break up. Insane Clown Posse > KWD

"A fake one-person band can't break up. Insane Clown Posse > KWD" finall, someone figured it out. i cannot break up with myself. ICP however? not really. i wear more make-up than those clowns!

m_kwd 9/3/2009 11:41:21 PM

oh yeah since NOCAREEVER likes to talk shit on various posts about KWD -- i will say it again for the "slow" person in the room...

m_kwd 9/3/2009 11:42:13 PM

..., remove your head from your jerk. there are 4 of us in the same band for 5 years now dckhead. jesus, hate on us all you want but at least get your facts straight makes you look like an idiot. oh wait, you are one. tell tommy i said hello,

conway 9/4/2009 10:06:41 AM

Being straightedge myself and being from Iowa, I am kind of bummed. I honestly doubt they would give two fcks about someone who supported them and not from the 515.

m_kwd 9/4/2009 10:33:11 AM

haha, i love this place!

loki 9/4/2009 11:56:37 AM
