Message from the band October 2008:

Hi everyone, I hope this finds you all well and happy.

Not too long after our last show in Larne, when we released the East Coast Hardcore EP alongside This Years Confession and CauseForConcern, the four of us met up in Belfast (taking a short time out of our busy schedules...) to talk about absolutely everything. After a few hours of non stop discussion it was the decision of all four of us, as best friends and as band mates, that we should bring Crimson Fight to an end.

The reasons for which aren't particularly dramatic. Nobody fell out (anything but), nobody had any kind of crisis, no 'artistic differences'. We felt collectively that the objectives that the band originally set out to achieve weren't being done with the same effectiveness any more. It was becoming a grind, and if you aren't enjoying yourself, why try to carry on as if nothing's wrong, possibly risking the loss of your best friends? We have had some absolutely great times over the last seven years (through the Dave's Not Here, Davesnothere, DxNxH and Crimson Fight eras respectively), and feel like the band has served its purpose.

I guess it leaves us to say thank you; to everyone who supported us, played with us, recorded us, gave us a show, came to a show, took pictures, designed CDs, Designed posters and anyone who just gave us a chance. It's much appreciated, and it gave us the ability to go out and play music, make so many incredible friends and hopefully make people think.

We want to say special thanks to the Larne faithful, (you all know who you are), who really got behind their local scene in the last year or so and made something that could still be awesome. All of a sudden bands are appearing out of nowhere, things are happening...don't let stupid fights and pointless grudges get in the way of unity. You're all ECHC at the end of the day.

The songs from both of our EPs (and various older rarities) will probably end up for free download here at one time or another, and both of our CDs are still on sale through us, through our Bebo and through this MySpace. I'm sure it's not the last you've heard from the four of us musically anyway, keep watching this space. I don't think we'll ever truly grow up.

God Bless the East Coast,

love,
Joel, Mark, Danny, Nelly
