NOT SURE HOW TO SAY THIS BUT AS A BAND WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO CARRY ON ANY LONGER.
OUR SINGER CHRIS IS OFF TO STUDY MUSIC IN BRIGHTON IN SEPTEMBER AND THE REST OF US EITHER WANT TO START/JOIN OTHER BANDS OR FOCUS ON OUR CAREERS.
IT'S BEEN A HELL OF A YEAR FOR US, WE'VE HAD OUR UPS AND DOWNS. WE'VE PLAYED SHOWS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, MET SOME AMAZING PEOPLE AND TOURED WITH SOME AWESOME BANDS.
WE'RE SORRY ITS COME TO THIS GUYS BUT IT WAS GONNA HAPPEN EVENTUALLY.
WE'D LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO CAME TO A GIG, BOUGHT A T-SHIRT OR A CD.
THANKS TO ALL THE BANDS WHO HAVE EVER SUPPORTED US OR LET US SUPPORT THEM.
THANKS TO ALL THE GOOD PROMOTERS THAT BOOKED US.
ALL OF THIS REALLY MEANT SO MUCH TO US.
ALSO THANKS TO ADAM TAYLOR AND TOM BENNETT FOR SELLING OUR MERCH ON TOUR.
