The Fire The Flood Breaks Up

Charlotte, North Carolina's The Fire The Flood has called it quits. Formed in 2005, the band released an album with No Sleep Records last year (conveniently on sale for $6 right here). Here's a statement from the band:

"After close to two and a half years we have played music on our own terms. We have had the joy of touring all over the country. We have met tons of wonderful people in bands and fans. However it is with great heartache that I write to inform you that we, The Fire The Flood, is dead. To anyone who came to our show at Lunchbox Records last Friday then you saw our last performance.

If anyone has followed us for any time at all then you would know that we have faced setback after setback and we never let it slow us down. We feel that right now we are all being pulled in different directions and can no longer give 100% to this band.

To every band we played with, any person who let us sleep on there floor, anyone who attended a show, bought an album, or helped us out in any way then we thank you with our whole hearts. This has been an opportunity of a lifetime and I couldn't have wanted it on anybody else's terms except our own.

I am sure you have not heard the last of any of us. We thank you guys once again for everything."

The band had just wrapped up a short tour of the South East U.S. this month.
