DEAD HEARTS BREAKING UP AFTER THEIR CURRENT TOUR

Posted by Ben Sailer on 18-Jul-08 @ 04:23 PM

Buffalo, New York hardcore act Dead Hearts are breaking up at the end of their current tour. The band made the following statement on their MySpace:

With a heavy heart I have to announce that Dead Hearts is breaking up. Our singer Derek informed us today that he was no longer able to continue doing the band due to commitments back home. We respect that decision and think it would be pointless to carry on without him. Our August/ September tour is cancelled but we will be finishing out the rest of our current tour (Johnson City, TN, Huntington, WV, E Stroudsburg, PA and Dunkirk, NY) and playing one last show in our home town of Buffalo, NY on Friday September 12 @ Mohawk Place with our friends in Energy, Get Back Up and Face The Panic

The band's last official release was 2006's Bitter Verses for Ferret. Burning Season Records also reissued their early self-titled and Words You Betray EP's late last year.
