Houston Calls have called it quits. The band had this to say:

After about 6 years, hundreds of shows, a bunch of great tours in 3 continents outside of our own, Houston Calls is calling it a day. Suffice it to say, we didn't come to this decision lightly, and it's one that pains us, even though it's what we've decided is best for us. The continued instability surrounding our band's various situations (has overshadowed what our band has always prioritized: making some alright music and having a great time with our friends - the ones in our van and the ones we meet on the road.

It's tough packing up your entire life and leaving friends and family for months at a time. It's unstable, it's uncertain, and it's pretty darn unhealthy. It's also, as we're all looking a little to our own futures, unsustainable at this level. The economic realities of living hand to mouth at our ages gets to be a little daunting. And seeing very few open doors for us as a band, we decided that it's best for us to move on.

The band released The End of an Error last year.

Harvey Danger has called it quits. The band explained:

After 15 years, three albums, hundreds of shows, and far more twists and turns than we ever imagined possible, we've decided to put Harvey Danger to rest. The decision is totally mutual and utterly amicable. Everyone is very proud of the work we've done together, but we've also come to feel that our collaboration has--in a very positive way--run its course. We're all eager to try our hands at other projects, musical and otherwise.

Chances are we'll all work together in one form or another; if we've learned anything, it's that you never know what will happen. Of course, putting an end to something we've been working on since our early 20s can't help being accompanied by a soupcon of melancholy. Nonetheless, as the Chambers Brothers remind us, time has come today. Rock bands have life spans, and Harvey Danger's has been longer, and more eventful, than even we would have predicted.

The band released Little by Little... in 2005.

Have Heart will call it quits after its world tour with Shipwreck A.D..

According to the band:

Once the Fall rolls around, we can't really do this band the way we would prefer to anymore. Knowing this deadline of ours and having a whole world tour already booked, we'd like to take advantage of the chance to say goodbye to all the people we have met around the world over the years.

So, please come check us out in the remaining months on our little trip around the globe. So far Asia has been a wonderful experience and we're very happy to have had the chance to meet so many kind people and look forward to the rest of Asia.

It's been a nice 7 years and we'd like to thank all the unique hardcore kids and bands we have encountered. And in the words of DFJ, thanks to all the shit talkers for all the material to get off on. But, really....we have met so many wonderful people who we'll just never forget.

The band's last show will take place Oct. 17, 2009, National Edge Day.

Have Heart leave behind three releases: 2004's What Counts EP, 2006's The Things We Carry and, most recently, 2008's Songs to Scream at the Sun. Their final album was voted among the best of 2008 by Punknews.org readers.

Denver, Colorado's Ghost Buffalo have called it a day. The band has two final shows scheduled, in Denver at 3 Kings on May 12 and in Colorado Springs at The Rocket Room on May 14.

Love Equal Death has called it quits. The band made this statement:

It's been a back and forth battle with everyone here to move on or to let go of this thing we love so much. We here at camp Love Equals Death have decided to let go of Love Equals Death and preserve the good times we had and the hurdles we had to overcome. We will no longer be functioning as a band and will be calling it quits. We thank all the fans and the venues and bands we shared those venues with. We especially want to thank all the kids on Punknews.org for your support throughout our stint. There is no rhyme or reason. It's just time to do what we feel in or hearts is right.

The band suffered a number of set backs since the release of Nightmerica in 2006. Among them were the now dropped charges against their bassist followed by the loss of their vocalist in January of 2009.

CT-based skacore band The Flaming Tsunamis have just announced that, after ten years, they'll be calling it quits. In a blog posted to the band's myspace vocalist Andy Tabar states:

As i struggle with feeling let down while at the same time having complete understanding for the situation, i am also excited for the final gasp of the band. We aren't done yet, we are all still committed to recording our next album, our final album, as well as playing a handful of shows.

I'm not sure exactly how many shows we are going to play and if any of them will be outside of CT, but we will be delivering to you one last recording to enjoy and remember us by as we all move on to the next chapter of our lives.

For the entire blog entry, click here. The band released Fear Everything in 2006.

Verse has called it quits. The band made this statement:

This has been one of the most important things in our lives for quite a while now. While it's sad to see it come to an end, we're all glad we can look back on some great experiences we have had, and wonderful people we have met throughout the years.

None of us are too sure about how we feel about doing a final show, not ruling it out completely, but sometimes that can come off the wrong way, and none of us want that. if we can do it right, we will do it.

The band's final album was 2008's Aggression. Punknews.org readers voted it one of the best of 2008.

Silver Jews have apparently called it quits. According to this report, primary member David Berman had this to say:

Yes I cancelled the South American shows. I'll have to see the ABC Countries another way. I guess I am moving over to another category. Screenwriting or Muckraking. I've got to move on. Can't be like all the careerists doncha know. I'm forty two and I know what to do. I'm a writer, see?

I always said we would stop before we got bad. If I continue to record I might accidentally write the answer song to Shiny Happy People.

The Silver Jews released Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea in 2008.

Pop punk act The Steinways have called it quits. The band made the announcement:

So, yeah, we're not a band anymore, which means we won't be doing the shows we have scheduled or anything. I apologize for that. Anyway, lots of you folks on here have been amazing and wonderful and nice to us through the years, and I appreciate the fuck out of it. This band was sort of a dream come true for me, and I'm glad a few folks enjoyed it.

The band's last album was 2008's Gorilla Marketing.

Deathcycle have called it quits. The band explained:

After almost 6 years, we have mutually decided that we are all heading in different directions and the band cannot continue to create as we have. Some of us have changed, some of us have remained steadfast. I guess not so much "musical differences" as much as "directional differences". The important thing is that we have come forth and been honest with what we all want and expect from each other not just as a band, but as friends. Anyway, we leave off with records we can be proud of, and our friendships intact.

The band has a final show planned for February 28th at the Rockstar Bar in Brooklyn, NY. You can find some more details here.

Scouts Honor has announced the end of the band. Frontman Jared Grabb announced the breakup:

The band will be traveling for its FINAL TOUR in March 2009. After six years of doing this band and fighting to keep it's line-up filled, I've decided to call it a day. Around the release of 2006's I Am The Dust, I was struggling to keep things afloat. In the course of one year, Scouts Honor played 150+ shows with four different drummers and two different bass players.

Finally, after moving to Chicago, I found a new Scouts Honor "family" in David Dobbs and Ernesto Castillo. We had written most of an album, toured Europe, and just had a blast joking around in the van. Well, in recent months, our drummer David returned to Arkansas for family reasons, greatly limiting his activity with a band based out of Chicago. He has decided to return to college, keeping him in Arkansas until 2010.

Meanwhile, our bassist Erny is focusing more and more on his career. I no longer have an interest in teaching new members to play old songs. It just doesn't seem like Scouts Honor is a good use of my time anymore. So, I'ved called it.

Scouts Honor's final tour will take us down to SXSW in Austin, TX and around the Midwest in March of 2009. We will be recording a final EP of new material during the tour to be released after the band's breakup.

The band released I Am the Dust in 2006.

San Francisco's Wardogs have called it quits. The band, which formed last year and featured members of the Lucky Stiffs, were recording their debut LP Self Help in Hard Times for Asian Man. According to the band, the album will not be finished.

They released their Spread the Disease 7 inch earlier this year.

For Science have called it quits. The band explained the peculiar situation:

No, this isn't a joke, and I understand it comes at time when lots of other bands are breaking up but it's a coincidence. This probably sounds too ridiculous to be true, but our singer and my friend John Slover had an acid freakout which led him to pack up his stuff and move to New Orleans on a complete whim without telling anyone, then continue on to Hawaii. I doubt we'll be able to play any kind of last show due to the circumstances, at least not anytime soon, and I know that kinda sucks. We are still playing at the cake shop on the 16th, and its gonna be something weird, but it was always going to be.

The Jersey-based pop-punk outfit released Tomorrow’s Just Another Day last year.

Montreal's CPC Gangbands have called it quits. Vocalist Roy 'Choyce' Vucino commented:

A few years back i started the Gangbangs knowing is gonna be a pretty rough and tumble ride. We brought a bit of chaos and lots of rock 'n' roll wherever we went and had a blast doing so. Following the departure of key members and the arrest of another in the USA it has become impossible for us to continue. The core of the band will continue to record and push the ideals of the band under the moniker RED MASS

You fan find more details on Red Mass as MySpace. Bassist Tommy Kitsos has most recently been performing as part of John Reis' Night Marchers. Other CPC members have performed or recorded with acts such as the Cockroaches, Chocolat, les Enfants Sauvages, PiPi, Mark Sultan, Bestalita and Ghost Limbs.
