Acceptance is an American alternative rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 1998. They released their first EP, ''Lost for Words'', in 2000, followed by ''Black Lines to Battlefields'' in 2003 (this EP was also re-released with live bonus tracks). Their only album, ''Phantoms'', was released in 2005. On January 26, 2015, it was announced that Acceptance had reunited. The band consists of Jason, Christian, Kaylan, Garrett, Ryan, and Nick. They released their first song in over ten years called "Take You Away" on May 8, 2015. ==History== The band toured nationally and shared stages with the likes of The Juliana Theory, Anberlin, Finch, Further Seems Forever, and Seether as well as performing successfully on the Warped Tour and Cornerstone Festival. When the band's debut record, ''Lost for Words'' came out on Seattle indie, Rocketstar Records, and quickly approached the 5000 sales mark, the industry at large began taking notice. When the band recorded a new 5-song demo with Aaron Sprinkle, this industry interest turned into serious courting by several major labels. After putting a professional management team in place to help determine the band's course of action, the band signed to Sony owned, Columbia records, who then released the ''Black Lines To Battlefields'' EP (produced by Aaron Sprinkle) through The Militia Group who had been a long-time supporter of the band and was distributed through Sony owned Red Distribution at the time. In 2003, drummer Garret Lunceford came out to the group as gay and parted ways with the band several weeks later. Lunceford stated that he was kicked out of the group. Other band members state that he was never kicked out and that he left of his own decision, after a resulting breakdown in communication. At the tail end of 2014, Lunceford and his former band mates made amends, putting issues of the past behind them. He has since rejoined the group for the reunion and foreseeable future. Acceptance later released their debut album ''Phantoms'' on Columbia Records in 2005, again produced by Aaron Sprinkle. The album was one of many included in the Sony rootkit controversy due to its inclusion of the Extended Copy Protection software. Acceptance broke up in the summer of 2006. Former guitarist Christian McAlhaney posted the following message on their site: At the time of the band's breakup, they had already written and demoed songs for a new album. As a "going away" for fans, the band put the demo for "Not Afraid" up on their (Myspace page ) for download. On January 26, 2015, it was announced that Acceptance would be reuniting at Skate & Surf 2015 in Asbury Park, New Jersey.〔http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=3716768〕 Since the announcement of their reunion, the band has released a brand new song entitled ''Take You Away'', making it their first single to be released since their 2006 breakup. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Acceptance (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
