Skycamefalling Call It Quits

New York's Skycamefalling have surprisingly decided to call it quits after six years and two full-lengths.

"After six years of doing something we care so passionately about, Skycamefalling have decided to call it quits," stated the band on their official website, www.skycamefalling.com. "The split was a band decision that was completely amicable and by no means was attributed to bad blood between band members or lack of effort. We all reached a point in our lives where other endeavors began to take precedence and sacrificing something we felt so passionate about would be unfair to ourselves, as well as our fans."

"The desire to finish school and tap into other formidable outlets of our lives requires our 100 percent dedication, leaving the dedication we put towards making this band what is was, secondary," continued the statement. "We've always maintained an 'All or Nothing' philosophy in this band. Pushing ourselves and striving to be the best we could was fueled solely by our fans. We thank you."

"Thank you to all of our fans from the bottom of our hearts. We are forever indebted to the Long Island Hardcore scene for listening to us and giving us a chance to live our dream. While we were on tour, we represented Long Island the best we possibly could. We are and forever will be a Long Island Hardcore band. Finally, we are playing the remainder of the shows we have booked with a final show in the works. Also, the two new tracks will be released sometime in the near future."

Skycamefalling formed in 1997 in Williston Park, New York. Under the name Skycamefalling, the group released two full-lengths (Ferret Records), a mini-album (Ferret Records) and made one compilation appearance. Known for their unconventional approach to hardcore, specifically on full-length 10.21, the group have long been heralded as forerunners in the genre, much in the same regard as Boston's Cave In.
