Carried on as three-piece

Shortly after the tour, Gabe was fired from the band. In 2001, AGT carried on as a three-piece with Pete on bass, Mike on drums, and Bryan on guitar and vocals, playing a handful of shows in Massachusetts and New York City. The band also recorded a split 7-inch with Toxic Narcotic before touring with The Casualties . For this tour, John Curran, who went on to form the L.A. ‘shitgaze’ band Kiss Me Deadly in 2009, joined the band as the new bassist and Pete returned to guitar. In December, AGT recorded their 3rd full-length LP Here We Are, which was released on Punkcore Records . During this time, Bryan began playing guitar as Pete Curtis prepared to leave the band and move to L.A. Around this time, Pete Curtis and former member Gabe Crate, coincidentally also about to leave the Boston area, became involved in a violent altercation with one another at a party, during which Gabe called into question Pete’s punk rock credibility, allegedly inspiring the lyrics for a future bonus track entitled “D.F.” written by Pete about Gabe’s own shortcomings.
