Lionheart breaking up

Lionheart break up North California hardcore/metal band Lionheart is calling it quits after roughly twelve years together. Prior to disbanding, they will release some new material and play a handful of final shows. Here is a statement from the group:
"Toured with some good bands, toured with some bad ones. Met some great people, and some complete idiots. Started this band in a living room in San Francisco and ended up getting to see the world. Seen a million bands, scenes, trends, and people come and go- now it's our time. Everyone has jobs or careers that make doing this (even part time) next to impossible. One more EP, a split with one of our favorite bands, and some final U.S. shows will be announced soon. The current Canadian & European dates will be our last shows in those territories. Thank you for everything- this was one hell of a ride."

This is the band that the vocalist caught a beer while crowd surfing awhile back, his bros cheered him on. https://www.youtube.com/wa tch?v=I3UdmvTMV_c&list=PLh k9MUUlNnuj3buj6wQNK7JOsIqd zMugu&index=1 (please no space between the a and the t and the h and the k and the d and the z)

Saw some of Lionheart wearing cannibal corpse t-shirt Downtown Salt Lake. Google the band. You'll see what kind of fan base they have.

Bryom drowning here, this band was so hard, they legitimized my shitty band and made us feel like we were the kings of the shitty band scene. I think things are cool and nice. I say that a lot because it make me feel warm and fuzzy like my cop daddy and my privileged suburban upbringing
