Verse break-up

February 8, 2009

verse1It appears that Verse have called it a day, lead singer, Sean Murphy, has just posted this MySpace bulletin:

“that’s all folks

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.

we want to thank everyone who has been a part of this, good or bad. it’s been a pretty crazy trip.

peace out.
