After months of rumours regarding their potential disbandment, post-hardcore punks The Blood Brothers have officially called it quits.

They were originally going to wait until 2008 to give up, but they released the following statement on their website on November 8:

"Dear Friends,

"After 10 years of making music as The Blood Brothers, we have made the collective decision that our time together has come to an end. We feel extremely fortunate to have spent such a deeply memorable and amazing part of our lives with each other. At this point, however, we feel it's best that our futures move forward on separate paths. We'd like to express our sincerest thanks and gratitude to all the bands we've played with, individuals who have helped us make our records, and fans who have come to our shows and picked up our music throughout the years. Your friendship, support and love hold such a profoundly special place in each of our hearts. We hope that the memories you attach to our music are as fond as those you have given us. Thank you and take care, we'll miss all of you.

"Love,

"The Blood Brothers"

The Blood Brothers released five full-length albums, and their last disc Young Machetes reached #92 on the Billboard Chart, the highest charting point of their career after their previous effort Crimes reached #157.
