Break-ups: The Cardinal Sin (2003-2006)

Contributed by greyflight. Posted by Justin on Tuesday, October 3, 2006 at 9:30 PM (EDT)

After a short-lived three years together The Cardinal Sin, which featured members of Cadillac Blindside, the Crush and Songs Of Zarathustra, have called it a day. The band announced it earlier today in a simple Myspace bulletin that read simply:

That's right. The Cardinal Sin broke up and has only one show remaining!

The band will be playing their last show this Friday, October 6th, at the Triple Rock in their hometown of Minneapolis. Joining them will be Colonial Vipers Attack, One for the Team and Fits of Fury. The band released their first full-length, Hurry Up and Wait earlier this year. They preceded it with their split with Small Towns Burn a Little Slower, and the Oil and Water EP.

What a shame.

Opies (October 3, 2006)

This really is too bad. They were a good band but their recently released full length sold next to nothing. Makes you wonder what bands have to do these days to get noticed.

They probably still sold more than anything, outside of comps, on Grey Flight.

I just hate the National League...including the Cardinals

InaGreendase (brian) (October 3, 2006)

Damn, this band was doing old Alkaline Trio better than current Alkaline Trio was doing any Alkaline Trio. If that makes any sense.

you're pretty much an idiot aren't ya?

tubbabutta (October 3, 2006)

I can't get past old Samiam comparisons with the vocals though. -tubby

Someone (October 3, 2006)

Huh? This band sounded nothing like any period of Alkaline Trio

Fuzzy (justin) (October 3, 2006)

...
Have you heard this band?

tylerdurden8136 (October 4, 2006)

Haha, I'm going to take a guess and say no.

Someone (October 4, 2006)

If you're talking to me, who said they sound nothing like them, yeah, I have, I have all their stuff. Aside from having that sort of typical, midwestern type sound, they're nothing a like

Hubitcherkokov (October 4, 2006)

I agree. I don't get the Alkaline Trio comparison at all.

tylerdurden8136 (October 4, 2006)

You're both deaf.

Scruffy (October 4, 2006)

I throw my hat in. They're definitely in the same ballpark, but I wouldn't say they aound enough like the Trio to make the statement the original post made.
Maybe it's also because I loved Caddilac Blindside, and they were so much closer sonically to the Trio that this doesn't sound that close.

LeightonESmith (October 3, 2006)

Their last cd had the potential to launch them. Too bad.
Does anyone know why they broke up?

Dusticles (October 3, 2006)

Its amazing what people find to be a "lot of hype."

Someone (October 3, 2006)

At least Grey Flight will finally stop pimping their CD so hard. That was getting really annoying.

1+ Reply

Someone (October 4, 2006)

Grey Flight is selling their LP, EP, and split, along with some free releases, for $10 total. Nothing annoying about that.

Someone (October 3, 2006)

They probably broke up for the reason most bands do. You know, touring the country getting home and having no money for bills. That's just classic stuff!

cash_money_hustla (October 4, 2006)

What songs do the Lawrence Arms do back ups on?

David_Arquette (October 4, 2006)

Chris does backups on "Eye Opener" (I think that's what it's called), and Neil does backups throughout the record, I think.

drunkenriot (October 4, 2006)

No fucking way, i was stoked i was gonna see these guys at the fest, all i can say is amazing songwriters hopefully they start something else up

BANGARANG (October 4, 2006)

i think the phrase "called it a day" needs to call it a day.

CUAPUNKRADIO (October 4, 2006)

damn this band had some real potential, the ep was great, the full-length had some great spots. better than 90% of the stuff posted on this site

coffinfullofnails (October 4, 2006)

fucking lame
