Minus The Bear announce split, detail final EP

After seventeen years and six studio albums, US outfit Minus The Bear have announced their plans to call it quits later this year.

The band took to Facebook to detail their final plans, which will include one last EP 'Fair Enough', and to pay homage to the fans that have supported them throughout their career.

Speaking in their statement, the band said, ”Undoubtedly we owe all of these adventures to you, our fans. Without all of you, the memories of traveling the world, exploring different cultures, and witnessing the delight of your beautiful faces singing along wouldn’t have been possible. Your support weathered us through storms that easily could have scuttled the band. Throughout the years, it’s you who kept us going. We cannot thank you enough.”

Their final EP 'Fair Enough' is set to be released on the 19th October via Sudicide Squeeze, and you can check out the title-track in the player and see the full breakup statement below.
