"Ladies and gentlemen, the rumors are true. After ten years, close to a hundred recorded songs and several trips around the world, The Get Up Kids will be playing their last shows this summer."

i still can't believe i'm typing this, but as of last night after our calgary show we decided to put this lame horse known as belvedere to rest. thanks to everyone who has supported the band over the last 10 years. it's been a slice.

the previous post is not a joke. we are done. however, we do have a shitload of merch left and we probably will be doing one more show to liquidate our assets. i'll post that when i know more. our apologies to those who enjoyed what we did...the truth is that we enjoyed it too...

Sommerset haben sich aufgelöst. In einem Statement bedankt sich die Band artig bei allen Fans, ihren Familien und vielen anderen Menschen, vergisst aber leider, Gründe für den Split anzugeben.

After eight years and accomplishing a hell of a lot more than what we expected, it's a good time to end it and move on to new things. There is a chance that we might play a last show in August. Also before our decision to break up, we recorded two new songs that will eventually be available online. So what's next? Ean's playing guitar with Dance with Destruction, which you'll see playing soon. Jaycen finished recording an EP with Angoramachinegun and they're playing around Sacramento right now. Jack's moving to NYC and I'm moving to LA. Thanks everybody for everything.

We've decided to take an indefinite break from Autopilot Off. It has been nearly 10 years since the band started, and it has been full speed ahead for the majority of that time. We have all decided to take some time for our lives outside of the band. We are all still the best of friends. In addition to this we decided a few months back to leave our home of 4 years at Island Records. We apologize for leaving you all hanging for so long. Thank you so much for all the support and friendships that you all have given to us over the years. We could never have done it without you.

After 16 years of scars and ear damage all in the name of spreading goodwill and the Rock N Roll doctrine, we will take the stage for the last time on our favorite day of the year. We know that it is very difficult for those around the world to be with us for this celebration, but we invite all that have been a part of this awesome ride to come out one more time and give it up for the band

After a career spanning 10 years, we realise we have taken this band as far as we can, and have decided to call it a day. It is now time for us to look at other things, and to pursue different projects. We would like to thank you, the 3 Colours Red fans for your support and dedication through all of this and look forward to getting out there one last time for what should hopefully be a great, but final UK tour.

Irgendwie komisch, dass mein erster Eintrag hier zugleich mein letzter sein wird - und leider bringe ich keine guten Nachrichten. Wir werden die Wohlstandskinder auflösen, und am 17.12.05 in Köln unser letztes Konzert geben. Da ich wohl Hauptinitiator dieser Entscheidung bin, möchte ich euch ein paar Worte dazu erklären, obwohl es Seiten bräuchte, um diesem Entschluss gerecht zu werden. Unsere Trennung hat in erster Linie musikalische Gründe. Jeder von uns hat sich in dieser Hinsicht weiter entwickelt, und im Laufe der Zeit haben sich verschiedene Vorstellungen ergeben, die mittlerweile nur noch schwer zu vereinbaren sind. Eine Band lässt sich vielleicht am ehesten mit einer Beziehung vergleichen: Im Grunde ist die Sache ganz einfach: wenn man sich nicht mehr liebt, sollte man sich trennen. Genau an diesem Punkt sind wir angelangt. Wenn man 10 Jahre zusammen Musik macht, läuft man irgendwann Gefahr, dass man sich wiederholt. Alles ist gesagt und jeder weitere gemeinsame Weg wäre nur eine traurige Coverversion von sich selbst. Wir haben zuviel Liebe reingesteckt, als dass wir es jetzt zur Routine verkommen lassen sollten. Danke, dass ihr uns das ermöglicht habt, wovon wir mit 16 geträumt haben. Danke für alles. Auf Wiederhören. Silver

Sadly, the breakup is because of everything but the music. Over the years, while steadily growing more and more successful, we’ve also become more and more weighed down by the business end of the music industry. The side that you guys don’t see as music listeners is immense. Managers, labels, sales numbers, sound scans, agents, producers, accountants, lawsuits, royalties, contracts... the list goes on and on. If all of these parts of the business stay aligned and go as planned, things should be easy to handle. That has not been our case. We’ve actually nearly broken up before each record has come out, for different reasons each time. This time we decided we would get ahead of the mess and stay friends.

in a recent interview with Britain's Zero Tolerance magazine, Biohazard guitarist/vocalist Billy Graziadei confirmed that the band's recently released tenth album, "Means to an End", will also be their last: Biohazard are splitting up. "It was a natural progression with the band," Billy said. "We've grown in different areas. I have a daughter and I'm focusing now on my other band Suicide City [also featuring former Kittie bassist Jennifer Arroyo]; Danny [Schuler, drums] has three kids now, so things have really changed for him; Evan [Seinfeld, vocals and bass] is doing his big porno-acting thing now, and that's cool. One of the things about Biohazard is that it's your life, your way. So to each his own. "I think over the years we just grew apart," Billy continued. "I've come to a stage in my life where I've come full circle and music is only for pleasure now. Don't get me wrong, I always dug it, always enjoyed it, I've had a fucking great time, but I didn't know any better. All I had was music. But my reality now is that I have a family and we've got to pay the bills. I'm no different from you — we've both got to buy the same token to ride a train, you know? So I'm back in the workforce, hanging out with my buddies at the weekend and dealing with the bullshit so I can enjoy the pleasures of life, like making music."
