Trapped Under Ice to go on 'lengthy hiatus'

Baltimore, MD hardcore band Trapped Under Ice has announced plans to go on a "lengthy hiatus" later this year. The group has issued the following statement:
Hello World. TUI here. We're writing to give everyone an update on the future of the band. Let's get straight to the point: Beginning in August 2013, Trapped Under Ice is going on a pretty lengthy hiatus. We are NOT breaking up. This is by no means the end of TUI. We just decided that it was important to keep the band fresh and something the five of us enjoy. We don't wanna spin the wheels for nothing and just write music because we feel like we have to. We don't really feel right about just putting out another record for the sake of touring right now. So, while its still fun, we're gonna go on a little break, do all our own things, then take it from there. At this time, we just want to emphasize that TUI, as a band, and as people, all still love hardcore and punk music. We all play in other bands and still tour. More importantly, we're five people who still love each other and love playing music together. None of that has changed. We've been around the world and back a couple times together and all grown a lot as individuals in this band. Made amazing friends and played with some of our favorite bands. We just wanted to keep it honest for people that have stuck with us through thick and thin over the years. There's no beef, no drama. So anything you hear or read thats not in these paragraphs is 100% NOT true. After a lot of deliberation, we just all felt it was a good time to step back, take a breather, and get a fresh perspective on things. So, with that being said, we aren't going on hiatus just yet. We still have a bunch of shows in the next six months, including a California weekend, a show in Hawaii, United Blood (Richmond VA), New England Metal Fest (Mass), Groezrock in Belgium (our one and only mainland European show), a UK tour with our friends Backtrack, Canada, and shows in Baltimore and DC. Wrapping it up this summer at This Is Hardcore Fest in Philly, for what will be our last show for roughly a couple years (2015). We'd love for everyone to come out and have fun. This beast isn't dead, merely sleeping. Signed Brad, Brendan, Sam, Justice, and Jared. - AKA Trapped Under Ice Here is a full list of our shows. It is not likely we will be adding any shows between now and then so if you plan on seeing us anytime soon, this is it. California W/ Soul Search 3/18 Anaheim CA @ Chain Reaction 3/19 Canoga Park @ Cobalt Cafe 3/20 San Francisco @ Thee Parkside Hawaii 3/23 United Blood Festival Richmond, Virginia 3/29 & 3/30 New England Metal and Hardcore Fest in MA 4/19 Groezrock Fest in Belgium (our only mainland European show) 4/27 UK W/ Backtrack 29/04 Southampton @ Joiners 30/04 Kingston @ Peel 01/05 Brighton @ Haunt 02/05 Manchester @ NQ Live 03/05 Glasgow @ Classic Grand 04/05 Sheffield @ Outbreak Festival 05/05 Bristol @ Fleece 06/05 Plymouth @ White Rabbit 07/05 London @ Underworld 07/06 Ireland This Is Hardcore August 8-11

Someone should dump these guys in a frozen lake, these motherless fcks

anonymous 2/23/2013 3:00:12 AM

they said "canada" but i don't see any canada dates :(

anonymous 2/23/2013 5:33:18 AM

the first hiatus where the band actually knows when they are stopping and starting back up again. sounds like someone might have to do some jail time.

anonymous 2/23/2013 5:44:35 AM

^ I don't think they would be touring in the UK if one of them had to go to jail.

anonymous 2/23/2013 5:53:40 AM

2015 looks bleak now I wish the world did end

brassknuckleromance 2/23/2013 6:36:29 AM

interesting, but I'm willing to bet come 2014, as long as other members aren't in other projects super committed at the time, tui will be back. thats just me.

anonymous 2/23/2013 8:57:32 AM

Justice gayg

anonymous 2/23/2013 9:17:09 AM

With all the love shit they should just go hug it out, get some hemp pants and join a drum circle and call it Trapped Hippies Under Grilled Cheese.

anonymous 2/23/2013 10:03:09 AM

Homeboy's going to try to "make it," in his very so-so Diamond Youth band. They'll remain active as long as some dipshits are willing to overpay them for fests and foreign tours.

anonymous 2/23/2013 10:31:15 AM

Coolest band name. Worlds gayest music.

LLSSPoet 2/23/2013 10:33:22 AM

Justice, where have you been for so many years?

anonymous 2/23/2013 10:34:25 AM

The comma before poop is unnecessary, Mitt

anonymous 2/23/2013 12:17:18 PM

kids that get punched in the face at shows are stoked

xBottomFeederx 2/23/2013 1:48:35 PM

This is such good news. Too c-cky, annoying, and ignorant. And not the cool ignorant. fck this band.

anonymous 2/23/2013 7:49:56 PM

Smart way to get extra people to come out to your shows.

anonymous 2/24/2013 1:43:06 PM

good news is the dates for this is hardcore are announced.

Snoopy2 2/24/2013 3:47:18 PM

I'M NOT A SUPERMAN, OKAY? But remember us and come to our shows and buy our merch because we're sort of big deals hehe

anonymous 2/24/2013 4:33:16 PM

Everyone talking shit probably doesn't even listen to hardcore and should immediately put a shotgun up their jerk and blow their small intestines out all over their collection of doom metal vinyls. Go pleasure to your Southern Lord catalogue, gays.

anonymous 2/24/2013 4:57:56 PM

A former friend of mine was completely up this bands ass all the time...their music is okay the first time through but anytime after that it's like having your dick skinned

anonymous 2/24/2013 7:03:44 PM

Trapped Under Bo Bice

anonymous 2/24/2013 8:09:54 PM

STUPID fckING BAND. DOUCHEBAG fckS. ONE OF THE WORST THINGS TO HAPPEN TO HARDCORE ALONGSIDE THEIR BROTHERS IN DOUCHE, TERROR. TOTAL fckING DOUCHEBAGS, THE LOT OF THEM. NOT HARDCORE. NOT BY ANY MEANS. I WISH CAPS LOCK LETTERS WERE BIGGER.

LoydChristmas 2/25/2013 8:19:23 AM

Mitt__Romney 2 days ago ^ Calls his shit, poop. LOLLOLOLOL

anonymous 2/25/2013 1:21:25 PM

What true headlining East Coast hardcore bands outside of the big ol' NYHC bands like Sick Of It All, Agnostic Front etc. are left now that Trapped Under Ice is possibly breaking up as 2015 is a long time away and what makes them think they'll magically draw as many people as they have drawn? Two years (assuming a February/March 2015 return) or just under that assuming a January 2015 return is a long time.

anonymous 2/25/2013 4:42:53 PM

was gonna say who in the band is doing jail time? to know when you'll be a band again at a specific time frame is suspect

anonymous 4/11/2013 4:04:31 PM

Dog (ass) Pound memebers everywhere are not stoked.

anonymous 8/13/2013 11:09:56 AM

The Bon Jovi of hardcore. Dudes only like it, cause it's chick music
