uk peeps please go out and vote today so that racist homophobic piece of shit farage doesn’t become the face of britain in the european parliament. and if you think bands shouldn’t mix politics & music then we straight up don’t agree with you. obviously.
Dear friends & fans;
I have made the difficult decision to step away from As It Is. I will cherish always the memories we made together.
I will be doing one last tour in November to say goodbye properly & have one last week playing music with my best friends.

PSA: dogs. we love dogs. if you have dogs, we wanna love your dog, at a show, but maybe not during the show ‘cause dogs have fragile ears, but like before or after the show, more dogs please.
that is all.
With everything going on in the world, if you have an issue with fans coming to more than one show of a tour then you seriously need to find something more important to be annoyed about. Let me people do what makes them happy. Honestly.
so we pissed off a bunch of people yesterday yet we’re the ones that get called ‘snowflakes’. if you’re complaining about us being political you obviously haven’t been listening for a while & if you think boris has never said anything racist then you might be a little racist 🤷🏼♂️
hello we’d post an april fools joke like “we’re breaking up lol” but it’s already hard enough to know what is & isn’t true on the internet without us adding to it. have a good day.
happy 2nd birthday to our awkward middle child okay.
this record, though synonymous with difficult & trying times for us really helped us discover who we did & didn’t want to be & truly paved the way for the who we are now.
okay. will always hold a special place in our hearts 🖤
Happy Birthday to mouth man
@PattyxWalters
! This is our one chance a year to post unflattering pictures of the most handsome man we know so here is some meme fodder...
we’re a better band now. confident in our beliefs and not giving a fuck. it used to be called punk rock now it’s called being an ‘edgelord’. but it’s cool you carry on only listening to safe music and pretending the world isn’t in a fucking horrendous state.
What can I even say. I’m going to keep it short.. London, that was the most emotional, fun & crazy show I’ve ever played. So many friends present. Thank you for giving me that send off. I guess I just want to say thank you one more time. I wish the band the best moving forward..
four years of our first full-length.
we may not be as overtly ‘pop-punk’ or as fresh faced or as young & naive as we were back then but we still love this record & owe a lot to it.
thanks for still being here through it all. it’s amazing what change can happen in four years.
black lives matter. black lives fucking matter. please use your voice. please fight for change. we signed the Justice for George Floyd petition online and ask you to share and sign it too. text FLOYD to 55156 & sign. 🖤
following the new video we are ecstatic to finally announce that
@ronnie_ish
is a permanent member of as it is. ron has been family for years and we are excited about what he will bring to the creative process for album 4 and beyond. love you brother! welcome! 🖤
4 years since we signed to
@FearlessRecords
.
In that time we have released 3 full-length albums & played 439 shows across 4 continents & yet it feels like we’re just getting started.
Whenever you discovered us, thank you for being here now. 🖤
We appreciate you all being so concerned for our mental health because of our relentless schedule. We poured everything we had into The Great Depression so we’re going to pour everything we have to bring you safe spaces at our shows all over the world. 🖤
6 years ago today we played our first ever show. If you’d have told those kids that 6 years later they’d be about to release their third record and head out on the last ever Vans Warped Tour they’d have never believed you. Thank you everyone for believing in us when we didn’t. 🖤
Our brother and friend
@foley_as_it_is
has decided to step back from As It Is, to pursue a brand new career as a fire fighter.
We could not be more proud of him (and are keeping him on speed dial for when we next use pyro in a live show)
All love,
Patty, Ali, Ronnie x
fuck boris & his racist, xenophobic, homophobic, pro-brexit rhetoric.
you can pre-order this shirt & stick a middle finger up at boris whilst supporting

Hi, I’ve been handling the bands socials for almost 7 years & for the first time I’ll be taking a short break before tour for my wellbeing & to block out some of the noise.
That does not mean we’ll be quiet as
@ronnie_ish
& our manager will be taking it over.
Love,
Ben
one year of the great depression.
thank you for all your support of this record. we took some risks & connected people to a message that was very important to us. we have achieved so much because of it & because of you. give it a spin today.
🖤
Security told us at London that we apparently broke the record for amount of crowdsufers during an hour long set at The Forum with over 300 for just our set! Over 600 for all 4 bands! Madness.
‘The Great Depression’ comes out August 10th.
This record is about the societal romanticisation of depression told through the story of The Poet who finds himself face to face with death.
Pre-order at .
hello, consumer. one year ago today, we released the great depression, an album that called for the total disintegration and reconstruction of how we, as a scene and a society, portray depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide.
& I can’t wait to see what they do next. I hope to see you around but for now this is me logging out of the band account. It’s been one hell of a ride & I’m grateful for every second of it. Love you all. Embrace the change xo - BLB
We wrote a record talking about our mental health openly and honestly in the hope it would encourage others to be able to be open and reach out when in need. It’s okay to need help. It’s okay not to be okay.
#BellLetsTalk
We officially have a Top 30 record in the UK🤘🏼
#TheGreatDepression
is our highest charting record ever!
Thank you so much for helping get our concept record into charts. We hope it’s message continues to reach new people & resonate with you.
🖤📉❤️
sad to hear that. if you have a problem with the beliefs of our support bands then you also have a problem with us.
if you ever feel unsafe or uncomfortable find a member of staff, our crew or talk to someone at
@avfti
on this tour.
our shows are a safe space for all.
okay but I’m kind of livid at the fact that there’s actually people at the
@ASITISofficial
show who are bitching about how the show sucks because “it was full of a bunch of lesbians spouting feminist/political bullshit”
So, we’re gonna announce main support for
#TheIntimateDepressionTour
THIS WEEK.
No, it’s not One Direction or Big Time Rush (literally never even heard of them) or The Jonas Brothers.
It’s a UK band we fucking love that are going to blow you away in those small rooms!
Thankful for all of you. Our next UK tour announced Monday is us giving back to all the people that may have never been able to travel to see us. This time we’re coming to you, visiting places bands like us rarely play.
this is why hip-hop is thriving, because (for the most part) artists have a more collaborative nature & bring each other up. let’s change that for rock. we’re in.

a concept:
there is the great depression. there will be the great depression reimagined.
you can make your own version of the record mix & matching songs from both.
So sick to see people jamming the album in full. Keep the tweets coming in. We love seeing the initial reactions!! We are reading and we try to see them all.
We were just informed that you guys have helped to make The Wounded World the biggest launch of any song in As It Is history.
Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting our art, no matter what shape it's in or what colour hair it has ;)
Seriously though, thank you.
Hello, we forgot to wish you a Merry Christmas (or whatever you choose to celebrate) yesterday as we were with our families and friends not on twitter but we hope you are having a lovely time and if you aren’t then it’s almost over!
Love you all. 🎄🖤
