Greeley Estates

Greeley Estates was a post-hardcore/metalcore band formed in Phoenix, Arizona in 2002. They were active until 2018.

Greeley Estates was formed by Ryan Zimmerman, Brandon Hackenson, Dallas Smith, Jared Wallace and Mike Coburn. The band name is derived from a sign in Greeley, Colorado that read "Greeley Estates" that Zimmerman and Hackenson saw on the way from Chicago to Phoenix. They released their debut album Outside Of This in 2004, a music video produced for its title track accompanied it.

Celebrating their signing to Record Collection and the release of their second album, the EP Caveat Emptor, Greeley Estates co-headlined the MySpace Fall Tour 2005 . They returned to the studio in January 2006 to record their second full-length album and then continued touring on Taste of Chaos 2006. On September 4, 2007, Greeley Estates recorded their new album. The two new members of Greeley Estates include Alex Torres (previously with Eyes Set To Kill) and Joshua Ferguson (previously with Glory Nights). Greeley Estates had announced Tyler "Telle" Smith as their new bassist, who was formerly of In Fear and Faith. Telle played his first show with the band on February 9, 2008, at the Clubhouse in Tempe, Arizona.

Their album titled Go West Young Man, Let The Evil Go East was released May 6, 2008. On Friday, November 14, 2008, Greeley Estates announced that Smith, found within the course of the same year, had left the band to join The Word Alive.

Greeley Estates toured around the world, headlining many of these tours with bands including Vanna, Tides Of Man, A Bullet For Pretty Boy and The Crimson Armada. When asked of the band's fifth full-length album before its release, Zimmerman told AMP Magazine, "We’re thinking of kind of combining the last two records, Go West and No Rain, to kind of bring back some singing and have a little bit of melody but still have the heavy. I’m not sure yet on the lyrical direction." The fifth album was aimed for a summer release (which it met with an August release date), with producer Cory Spotts, who also produced the band's very first album "Outside Of This" in 2004. The name of the album was revealed to be "The Death Of Greeley Estates".

On June 1, 2011 the first single to the new album was released on the band's Facebook page, titled "The Last Dance". On June 7, another song from the record was leaked, titled "Friendly Neighborhood Visit" through Alternative Press. On September 14, 2015 Greeley Estates posted "Working on new music!! We will keep you posted on the progress of the record." This was followed by a post on December 2, 2015 stating "New Greeley Record coming 2016!" The band released a new EP entitled Calling All the Hopeless on 27 June 2017. On 3 December 2018, the band announced it would be playing its final show later that month.

The band announced their final show and breakup via social media on 3 December 2018.
