San Diego's Augustana have called it quits after nearly a decade together. The band explained:

Basically the two original members with me as well, Justin [South] and Jared [Palomar], have parted ways. It's a sad thing, but it's been an amicable split and it's just kinda tough. It's hard to keep a band together. We had a good run and it was a blast while we could do it, but everybody is good. Everybody is friends. It's just tough to sustain a business like that. We've got gigs that we have to do contractually because we've been booked for months to do 'em. The timing is never right when you're talking about ending a working relationship with somebody you've been working with for [nearly] ten years. But like I said, there is no love lost and everybody's happy to move on.

The band most recently released Augustana via Epic.
