after eight years, killing the dream is gonna call it a day.

we’ve seen three continents, 46 states, met a million amazing people and eaten about 3428234 pizzas- all because of this stupid band. i feel SO lucky to have been able to be a part of it.

i can’t post gratitude to everyone who deserves it here, but to ANYONE whose path we’ve crossed- THANK YOU. almost every memory i’ve made over the past decade has had something to do with KTD or hardcore…and you all are forever a part of that. it’s not easy letting go of something you’ve loved so much, but it’s something we have to do.

our last show is july 2nd at gilman street in berkeley, ca with our friends THE CARRIER and ALL TEETH. we really hope you can make it.

until then, so long…

- eli and killing the dream
