As Tall As Lions announce break up

New York based band As Tall As Lions have announced that they will be calling it a day after playing three final shows in December.

The band posted:

"After eight years of music, friendship, laughter, adventure, bliss, blood, sweat, tears, and everything else that goes along with it, As Tall As Lions are retiring for the foreseeable future. There is no sadness on our side, and we hope there is none on yours. We will be playing a handful of shows across the country to try and give everyone an opportunity to see us one last time.

Our sincerest apologies to those who can't join us at these celebrations, but know you will be there in spirit. Much love to you all, and thanks again for everything."

The band's latest album "You Can't Take It With You" was released in 2009 through Triple Crown Records. The band toured Australia in 2008 as a part of the Soundwave festival.
