Last Witness Split

Last Witness confirmed their split, ending their seven-year musical career, after a string of summer shows.
 

 

The band has confirmed that before splitting, they will play one final show in London in September (the venue and the line-up are still to be confirmed).

One of their last performances was at the Download Festival of this year, on June 15, where they played at the Red Bull Stage.

Here is the band´s statement:

"It’s over. After reflecting on the future of the band, both collectively and as individuals, we have decided that this is the end of the road for Last Witness. We have achieved far more than we ever set out to seven long years ago.
The band has broadened our horizons both figuratively and literally. We have met some truly inspiring people, seen some amazing places, and had experiences (good and bad) that we’ll never forget. To everyone that has helped us along the way - there are too many people to thank - we are eternally grateful. Some things are better forgotten, but nothing lasts forever.
So this is the end. No reunions, no comebacks, no encores. Thank you for everything.
Theo Kindynis, Anthony Sykes, Connor Christie, Adrian Cecil
2006 - 2013"

Austin Carlile stops being associated with “Aspire & Create”

Austin Carlile has stopped his affiliation with the clothing brand “Aspire & Create”, which was named after Carlile initials.

 

 

Here you can read his statement:

“I am no longer a part of the clothing brand “Aspire & Create.” (As many of you know was started in 2012 and named after my own initials.) Due to multiple creative differences and other unforeseen circumstances I regret to announce this… As of May 2013 I am in NO way affiliated with this company or anything involving the brand Paper Alligator as well. The name may be the same but this is NOT my company. Neither Of Mice & Men, or myself, endorse this product, wear this product, support this product, or are affiliated with it in any way whatsoever any longer. My focus the next few months will be our new record, after which I look forward to introducing my new brand. “You have many options in life, never make giving up one of them.” Cheers!”
