The Receiving End of Sirens
The Receiving End of Sirens was a rock band from Belchertown, Massachusetts, formed in 2003. The band broke up in 2008 then briefly reunited in 2010.
Overview
The band played on the 2005 Warped Tour and has toured with such acts as Gatsbys American Dream, A Wilhelm Scream, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Funeral for a Friend, Saves the Day, Senses Fail, Thrice, and New Found Glory. The band's first headlining tour, "The New Hope Tour," began on March 31, 2006. About a week before the start of the tour, guitarist/vocalist Alex fell down a flight of stairs, breaking his scapula, two ribs and puncturing his lung. A question of whether or not he would be able to perform arose, yet he pulled through. Some of the bands who supported The Receiving End of Sirens on their first headlining tour were As Tall as Lions, A Thorn for Every Heart, Hit the Lights and I Am the Avalanche.
On March 18, 2008 the band announced that it would "no longer exist in the way it has for the past 5 years" on their MySpace page. The main reason for the breakup was the fact that Brendan had a child in January, and he decided he needed to reassess his priorities. In a MySpace bulletin he claimed that all of the members still keep a passion for music and the love for their fans. The band played two of their last three last shows at Lupo's in Providence, Rhode Island on May 2, supported by Envy on the Coast and Therefore I Am, and The Bamboozle Festival in East Rutherford, New Jersey on May 4. On May 5, a final farewell was performed under the pseudonym The Red Eye of Soromon at Harper's Ferry in Allston, Massachusetts.

How'd you know to find me here?
Tipped off you tiptoed to the tune of tapped wires
And insider information
This manifested destiny
you think you can
bestow on me, and epidemic with allure
that brings intrigue
to the dullest minds.
"Fix your broken eyes on me" she said
As she draped her arms around my head
But her wrist felt just like rope
Like rope, as they grazed my neck
(And her fingers like spiders, spun a web my body couldn't shed)
And on the eve of battle
I lay these arms to rest.
Have my subordinate coordinates
Finally turn themselves in.
Transmitted and encoded,
My encryptions have eroded
Now my whereabouts are
Living in the air waves thanks to me.
"Fix your broken eyes on me" she said
As she draped her arms around my head
But her wrist felt just like rope
Like rope, as they grazed my neck
(And her fingers like spiders, spun a web my body couldn't shed)
Her fingers, like spiders, spun a web my body couldn't shed.
