Orange, CA's Name Taken have called it quits. A full statement is expected on the band's website tomorrow.

Name Taken most recently released Hold On in 2004 via Fiddler Records. They toured earlier this year with Mae and Reliant K and are slated to appear on the upcoming Warped Tour compilation.

I think Pizza is my favorite food ever. Sandwiches are overrated.

Can you go wrong w/ a fresh pie?

My favorite toppings would be strictly green peppers.

What about you guys?

I have never really gotten into the "emo pop" bands. There are a few shining stars that have gotten my attention and repect. This is deffinately one of them. I find it really sad to see them go. So bash on them all you want, but they were an amazing band whether you like it or not.

I really like these guys album. This really sucks though especially as I never got the chance to see them. Fuck.

Burritos are by far the best food ever. It's like an entire meal wrapped up in an edible plate.

Fuck all of you. I liked their last album from beginning to end. Of course, they did seem like the kind of band that was one album away from making a Static Lullaby-like fall on their collective faces. Oh well.
