Are the tones breaking up?
Have they all fallen out?

I think it's because they're making fuck all money from it.
I'm sure Scott would make more from his animation/design.

Why 'split up' though? Just do other things for a bit with occasional gigs and releases when it suites? I loved the fact they were the stayers after all others had fallen around them. It was the ace during all Musical discussions with Mates. Thought the touring paid their way anyroad, ain't that how bands survive nowadays, they'res fuck all in sales. I just thought there was gonna be anither killer album in them, something radically different to the norm. Just do that boys, split up and form a new band, Yeah!!!!! Man this is hard work to do on a phone! Hi all btw, hope ur good xx

Apart from the debt bands can get into I don't think people realise how soul destroying it must be. After touring to a great reception in venues but yet to only sell about 10 more copies of your last record you then work for another year or two creating an album only to see some adolescent write it off as shit in some half arsed tiny review in the NME which doesn't even talk about the music just because his editor doesn't think you are cool any more.
You get no press whatsoever in general and sell hardly anything and then have to start the whole cycle again.
If it feels like people aren't even listening to your music any more then I can understand why you may not want to bother.

I think a lot are missing a general point....getting older! Not wanting to do the same thing and have it in the back of your mind, despite any 100% joy and love for something, touring, writing, getting the band together takes a massive chunk of your life away and sometimes you just want to stop, especially after 17 years of it! (Ish)

(Ish) There is that, but you have to work out what on earth to do afterwards. It's a strange time in life to have to change career.

I think Mark will probably keep going solo and Scott has his design and animation so he's OK. I'd be fascinated to know what Adam and Eds will do though. I don't know what they do in their spare time.

I think Eds was training to be an osteopath at some point, maybe he'll go into that.

or maybe they're loaded and will move to Benidorm living of the royalties of the 'where did you go' song and do the occasionl gingle for radio adverts....or appear as a bluetones tribute act on the costa's circuit.
