"After 5 years with Picture The End Stu Callinan has decided to call it a day. We came to a mutual decision that PTE needed 110% commitment and unfortunately Stu couldnt do that due to his other commitments. We wish him all the best and will still be best mates for years to come. This is by no means the end of PTE, not by a long fucking shot. We already have 2 replacements on standby and the writing process for the 2nd album is almost complete.

We are looking at recording early 2009 and a release mid year. We will announce the 2 new band members shortly, in the meantime check out Stu's message below. See you all real soon! PTE" Stu himself made a statement on his departure on the band:
"After 5 or so years with PTE i have decided to leave the band. Being part of this band has fortunatly given me the opportunity to meet some great people, and few who i could honestly call my best mates. Thanks to all the people who need to be thanked, you know who you are. Im sure ill see alot of you at future pte shows, this time i wont be onstage but near it, probably drunk. Make sure you check out the new PTE disc when its out, i can tell you that its gonna tear your balls off, and rip ur insides out, and apart from that, sound fuckin tough ha!
Thanks to everyone! Listen to PTE and keep an eye on my future projects!!!!
CHEERS!!"
