Fireworks are "taking a break for a while"

US pop-punks Fireworks have surprised fans today with the band basically stating they'll be going on an indefinite hiatus.

The five-piece made the announcement, in which they revealed the break will start from later this year and stems from wanting to enjoy more conventional lifestyles, on social media earlier today, and you can read the full statement below.

"There's no way to express how much your love and support has meant to Fireworks - and furthermore, to us as individuals over the last 8 years or so. After these upcoming gigs are ripped, we will be taking a break for awhile to give the other sides of life a try. We really don't know how long "awhile" is, but you'll be the first to know when we figure that out. Hope to see everyone this Spring and Summer. Fireworks Forever."

The band's latest offering was last year's 'Oh, Common Life', their third record to date, and hopefully this won't be the last will see of the Michigan quintet. The two singles from the album can be found below.
