"As you guys all know we've been beyond excited for today to come and normally this would be a day of celebration with the release of our new album," reads the statement, referencing the fact that their comeback album, Save Rock and Roll, is scheduled to be released yesterday (April 16).

"In light of the events in Boston yesterday we'd like to send our thoughts and prayers to the victims and everyone affected. We'll be donating the proceeds from our upcoming Boston show from the fall tour at Tsongas Arena to the victims. Hopefully these songs will make some people feel better today. We are Americans, this affects us all."
