Break-up is a dirty word

Last month, I posted the Starting Line is going on "indefinite hiatus", and now Yellowcard is doing the same. Ryan Key (lead vocals and guitar) had this to say: "You know, you are the first person that has ever asked that in an interview. That's kind of weird. I have to finally answer it. We really don't have any plans. We are calling it an "Indefinite Hiatus." After this tour, so, I don't know. It could be a year, 10 years, or 6 months. It's been an interesting time in this business and our record label. It's just. We kind of need a break. I think it appears everything is ok on its surface but we definitely need a little bit of time to figure out our personal lives. It doesn't have anything to do with turmoil in the band. It's more of a, facing adulthood now, and we can't stay in Neverland forever. You know what I mean. I think we just need a break. Hopefully we will get back to making another record sometime, if not it may be our last but we don't really know. We're just keeping the door open."

Seriously, two of my all-time favorite bands are now "on hiatus" which usually means "breaking up". Ugh, I can't catch a break. But good luck to all the guys and whatever they do in their time off.
