On April 1, The Safety Fire made a post about breaking up. Everyone called bullshit given the date and then the band proceeded to say absolutely nothing for the next few months. Now the band has revealed the unfortunate truth behind the April 1 post and the silence that has ensued thus far- The Safety Fire is now The Extinguished Fire.
According to the band's Facebook, there might be a farewell show sooner or later, but other than that the band is over.
We had you guys going for a while there, ey? You truly were all April Fools…
However, the harsh reality is, we have actually broken up. Maybe we will do a farewell show sometime. If you want to grab some merch to show people you were once cool, or are now cool and know some defunct band that no one has heard of in a few months time, then click the link below. When they're gone, they're gone for good.

Thanks for all the support over the years – from Cruisin' to Smüth Beats, we had a real swell time. Thanks to everyone who bought a shirt, came to a show, let us sleep on their floors, fed us…but most of all, thank you to those who ever said, shouted, screamed, mumbled or merely whispered….
Fuck The Safety Fire.
Let's remember the band for its awesome music and jam its 2013 album, Mouth Of Swords, in memoriam.
