Illinois-based emo-rock band
Park have decided to call it quits after seven years and three albums. Frontman Ladd Mitchell posted the following about the band's demise:
"During the course of the past months my priorities concerning Park, have changed due to personal affairs in my life. These changes have lead me to ultimately quit the band. It is a decision that I have been pining over for quite some time now, as I did not want to make a rash choice. For the past ten years being in Park is all I have known, and leaving that is scary, yet I wouldn't trade that time for anything else in the world. The friends we have made, places we've been, floors we've slept on, and shows we have played are unimaginable. It is much more than I ever thought we would accomplish."
The group's most recent album was 2006's
Building A Better ______, released via
Lobster Records.
