Crime In Stereo explain their breakup

Crime In Stereo Alex Dunne of Crime In Stereo has issued a lengthy statement to clear their air regarding the band’s recent and seemingly untimely breakup. Dunne notably insists that vocalist Kristian Hallbert’s recent health problems had nothing to do with the band’s demise (and that Hallbert has made a full recovery), and that a handful of final shows are in the works, all of which will be in the northeast. Here’s an excerpt:

“Many of you are requesting that we reveal the reasons behind the breakup. Like any divorce, there’s no one reason. It’s the cumulative effect of many problems left unchecked/unresolved over the course of years. Many of these reasons are personal and we ask that you respect our decision to move on. We appreciate the support that’s been given to us over the years, and we feel truly blessed to have done this for so long. I think the longevity of Crime in Stereo was more a testament to you than it was to us.

However, to quell any speculation, we should make it clear that Kristian’s surgery had absolutely nothing to do with the announced hiatus. It was purely coincidence, as Kristian and I had decided to make this move before he got sick. His face/jaw/voice/throat is totally fine. He’s singing as great as ever and there are no lasting residual effects.”

Dunne also talks about new projects in the works from members of the band, including a melodic hardcore record being planned with CIS’s original members and Pat Schramm of Bridge and Tunnel.
