The band released a lengthy statement about the breakup on their Facebook. You can read the entire statement after the jump.
This statement was made via Sharks official Facebook page:
HERE.
To all our fans,
We're sorry to announce that the four of us have decided to end our journey as Sharks.
Unfortunately all of our upcoming dates have been cancelled and we have
no plans as of yet to play any final shows. We sincerely apologise to
anyone who has bought tickets or were planning to buy tickets to any of
these shows. On a positive note, we have just finished making a brand
new music video for 'Gold' with our good friend Tom Lacey, which we'll
be releasing for all of you in the coming weeks. We will also be holding
a sale on all of the remaining Sharks shirts we have available, none of
which will be re-printed.
We want to thank all of you for the
incredible support you've given us over the last six years. We've been
lucky enough to take Sharks all over the world and befriend many
wonderful people along the way. It's given us so much joy to share our
music with you. So with this farewell, we leave you with three records
of which we are immensely proud of—The Joys of Living 2008-2010, No
Gods, and Selfhood—which we hope you'll continue to enjoy long into the
future.
We would also like to send a special thanks to our
close friends and family and the great team of people we've had the
pleasure of working with over the years -- Oliver Mitchell, Ross
Warnock, Matthew Gordner and everyone at Rise Records, Ben Husted and
Raw Power Management, Andy Somers and The Agency Group, BB Gun Press,
Coffeebreath & Heartache, Vinyl Junkie and Swagger City Records.
Thank you, friends!
James, Andrew, Sam and Carl xxxx
