The Buffalo band As Summer Dies is celebrating the release of their highly anticipated album Sincerely, with their official CD release party at the Buffalo Icon on Friday (Feb. 16). The band has accomplished much since their 2005 EP Close Your Eyes, I’ll Make You Famous, touring with bands such as 18 Visions and Powerman 5000. The band’s fast rhythms, intense bass lines, and heavy drumbeats create a background for haunting vocals and the occasional brilliant guitar solos that give As Summer Dies a unique sound that is quickly gaining popularity around the country. Support comes from the Banner, Ventena, Thoughts Lost, the Wretched. Doors open at 6:30pm
