Jade Tree Records announced the official break-up on From Ashes Rise today. The following statement from the band was issused on the label's website: It was a great ride for many years but all things pass [and] so do punk bands. So to all of you, know that the money you spent, the time and effort on this band was the drive and will for us to continue for many years and for that we give thanks. From Ashes Rise played all over and met some of the worlds best people and did some crazy ass shit along the way. You never realize that when you're doing it that it will ever end. But, we all wanted a change and are still doing bands and playing punk rock.[...] As long as people listen to our records keep memories and want or were part of our long walk on a short pier then so be it. So now go start your own band!
