The Banner Break Up

The Banner have thrown in the towel and confirmed their break up. The band issued the following statement:

“Alright as im sure you may have guessed The Banner is embarking on our Swan song. Theres no drama or nothing its just we pretty much did everything i wished to do and id like to bow out as gracefully as we are capable (yeah, i know, but for us this is as graceful as youre gonna get.) Were gonna play a last show at the end of the year. im not sure of exactly when someone could nail down a start date of this band but it was 1999-2000 so the end of 2010 will be at least ten years and ten years/6 records is something i can move on feeling ok about. So before the end of the year were gonna play other shows around the area and do a few things so i can square away the lingering financial obligations and make a clean break. If you want to book us somewhere that involves flying or touring to get to, unless you plan on paying for us to fly there (and if you are the fuck is wrong with you?), it aint happening. Gonna be working on final EP of sorts that will ideally be out before the last show, Wondering who is gonna put it out? NOBODY, I begged and pleaded but everybody was “too busy”. if i can gather enough funds after paying for recording ill press it myself but lets face it…probably not gonna happen. No, looks like the last album will be coming out on Mediafire Records. but thats chill too. The other dudes have things going on in the meantime Jake and Buzz are in Valens, www.myspace.com/valensvalens Jake is also playing in FleshTemple, www.myspace.com/fleshtemplenj Buzz is ALSO ALSO still in Pellinore, www.myspace.com/njpellinore Rich Bukowski is a huge queer but i love him so ill give him a little spot here also hes doing Pharaoh sounds sorta like cursed and other stuff people who like cursed like, i dont think they have a myspace but who knows and he does Rattling cages which is kind of a hardcore thing , upon further inspection i cant find their myspace either maybe theyre too awesome for myspace? PAUL. fucking paul is playing drums in every hardcore/punk and metal band in new jersey, including but not limited too www.myspace.com/killedbythebull which also include Justin who was in The Banner for a blink until he remember he had a wife and baby back home.
