Five Bands I’d Love to See Reunited [Music]

ED: With our upcoming Coachella festival recap/awards and their ability to bring bands back together now was the perfect time to bring together a list of artists that need to be reunited.

There were the big reunions with bands like At The Drive-In and The Refused, but also a lot of smaller bands reconvened, such as Yellowcard and The Early November. Last year and early this year, a few bands announced that they were on their way out of the scene, with Thrice and Thursday both embarking on farewell tours. Armor For Sleep and The Receiving End of Sirens are both getting back together to play one last show, both at the Bamboozle festival.
