It’s a sad day for hardcore fans. English hardcore band The Ghost of A Thousand have called it a day.
In a post on their official Tumblr blog, the Brighton hardcore outfit have revealed that it has become “increasingly difficult” to commit themselves to being a touring band and have decided to quit after a seven year career.
The band’s latest album New Hopes, New Demonstrations was released in June of 2009 on Epitaph Records. Click here to read more about the break up.
“It’s been increasingly difficult to commit ourselves to a touring band and unfortunately ‘real life’ has finally gotten the better of us,” reads the statement. “We know there’s been rumours for a while and we’re sorry that we haven’t commented sooner but to be honest, we were hoping that things would work themselves out. But our situation hasn’t changed and we are extremely devastated to finally end it. We’ve had an amazing ride and made dreams come true,” they continue, “so we would like to thank everybody who’s helped us along the way, whether you’ve booked us for shows, giving us a floor to sleep on, fed us, toured with us or done anything to keep the band on the road, we’re grateful to the lot of you and hope to see you soon. Most importantly we would like to thank all our fans, friends and family who supported us over the years,” they add. “We really couldn’t have done it without you guys so, from the bottom of our breaking hearts – thank you!”
