As Cities Burn was a post-hardcore (early material)/progressive rock (later) band from Mandeville, LA that formed in 2002.
As an unsigned act, the group accomplished impressive success touring and selling thousands of copies of their two EPs. Their success drew the attention of Solid State Records, who signed them in 2004.
ACB released its first full length album, Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest, on June 21 of 2005, and was featured in Solid State’s Young Bloods Tour with The Chariot, Showbread, and He Is Legend.
Earlier in the year, the band released a statement saying that vocalist TJ was getting married and leaving the band, so they decided to call it quits. However, partially through their ‘farewell tour’, they decided to stay together, but eventually T.J. decided to depart from the band and go his own way.
The band’s second album, titled “Come Now Sleep” was released August 14, 2007, on Tooth and Nail Records. Different from their previous recordings, however, the genre featured on Come Now Sleep has been classified by the band themselves as Rock / Indie / Progressive.
As Cities Burn’s third studio album was released on April 21, 2009, with the title “Hell or High Water”. The band’s music evolved even more with their final album, venturing into indie rock territory but while still maintaining their unique post-hardcore sound.
On the bands myspace on July 17, 2009, the band announced that they had broken up and were going to pursue other interests.

i love every album. Son I Loved You At Your Darkest is brilliant post-hardcore, Come Now Sleep has epic post-rock moments (Contact is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard), and Hell Or High Water is great catchy "indie" for lack of a better term. I really admire a band that can progress so much and still be amazing with each release... so sad they broke up :(

Hell Or High Water is growing on me, but I still don't think it's as good as Come Now Sleep.

At least when Cody does write about religion he brings an original perspective. There's just too many Christian post hardcore acts out there jamming worship tunes. This band seems to question and challenge faith without dismissing it.

AFuneralMaker wrote:
Cody has stated that Hell Or High Water was for the most part him jamming. He wanted to let go of that feeling that he was obligated to write songs strictly about God simply because they were on a Christian label. Clearly those undertones are still there and contrary to what he may have said in his final interview about As Cities Burn I still feel that these may be his most straight forward and honest lyrics to date.

Hell Or High Water was listless and lacked exuberance. They were just going through the motions of an album.
