Buffalo hardcore outfit Dead Hearts have announced their impending breakup. Guitarist Jeremy Smith made the following statement:
With a heavy heart I have to announce that Dead Hearts is breaking up. Our singer Derek informed us today that he was no longer able to continue doing the band due to commitments back home. We respect that decision and think it would be pointless to carry on without him. Our August/ September tour is cancelled but we will be finishing out the rest of our current tour (Johnson City, TN, Huntington, WV, E Stroudsburg, PA and Dunkirk, NY) and playing one last show in our home town of Buffalo, NY on Friday September 12 @ Mohawk Place with our friends in Energy, Get Back Up and Face The Panic.
The band last released Bitter Verses in 2006 via Ferret Records.
