At All Costs has announced that they’ve broken up:

These past two years have been the greatest of our lives, and so it is with a great deal of sadness we announce that At All Costs will be breaking up. What we had was pure: every show, every practice, every person we met, every place we played — It’s meant the world to each of us. Everything we have had has been more than we could ever ask for, and it was very difficult for us to come to terms with the idea of playing a last show. Our trumpet player Andrew felt that AAC was no longer the path he wanted to follow with his life, and the rest of us agreed that it would be best to finish the band on a positive note, with very much the same AAC with which we started…

The band has canceled their national summer tour and the recording of their LP.

MTV recently spoke to several of the participants from this past weekend’s Live Earth extravanganza. The event, organized by Vice President Al Gore aimed to raise money and awareness for global climate change. The site also described the event:

It was a little bit surreal, a little bit inspiring and a little bit awesome. Part Woodstock, part Wango Tango, Live Earth certainly didn’t feel like a once-in-a-generation event. But, then again, with an anticipated audience of 2 billion worldwide, and concerts on all seven continents, maybe it was.

As to whether Live Earth “mattered,” Fall Out Boy’s Andy Hurley noted:

I don’t know, man. I mean, I got into politics because of Rage Against the Machine. So music can change people’s minds. We’ll see what happens.

You can check out the entire post-mortem right here.
