Current mood:  accomplished
i hear terms like "indefinite hiatus" a good amount in the music industry, and i never quite know what to make of them. they're often contrived phrases that really mean something else, so for better or for worse, let's not call this next phase by that name.

that said, we're playing our final show in about a week. not a final show of a tour, not a final show before we hit the studio, not a final show before we move to the UK (i wish). a final show ever. we've had an absolutely amazing run over the past 5 years, and it's all due to your support. this band started playing chili peppers covers with no vocals and high hopes, and we've evolved into something completely different that you guys all accepted and sang along to. thank you for that; it means everything to us. as an audience, you far exceeded any expectations we've ever had.

i can't express how much we've loved making the smyrk our lives, and how much we owe you for helping us get there. as a little gift, we're making our entire catalog available for download on our purevolume page for this week leading up to the show. when i say entire catalog, i mean all of it. stuff you've never heard, stuff we didn't want you to ever hear, stuff you'll cringe at. it'll all be there.

we'll periodically check this myspace page after the show, but if you want to contact us individually, just use the links in the "band members" section.

thank you for everything.
-the smyrk

...the love you take is equal to the love you make.

you should just continue making your own music, the three of u. just get a permanent guitarist or bassist, whichever ari would prefer playing and keep writing. just dont be the smyrk, change ur name and keep the rock. think about it gents. ROFAC needs you and CT needs you!

either way

the smyrk will be missed. =(

love you all and thanks for the goodtimes, your friendship, and your support

oh, you guys. i cried. i may cry again.
there are no words to express just how much your band has meant to me over the past two years. you've been comforting & majorly inspiring & outright mindblowing. you had one of the most unique sounds i'd ever heard, and few other people have affected me as much you have.
that said, it's almost worth it to hear "sevyn" again. it's always been one of my favourites, and i lost my one copy a while ago. and feared i would never hear it again.
you're all brilliant & funny & cute, and i'm sure you'll move on to do other amazing things.
i'm going to adore & miss The Smyrk forever.

So, I'm a guy. And I never cry. But you guys have me really close to tears.

There's very little in this music "industry" that really blows my mind musically anymore. Everything is a shade or a bare reflection of something that came before it. However, it has always been the bands, such as yourselves, that I have hit play for and come away wondering what the hell it was I just heard combined with the feeling of "Holy crap that was...awesome!" that has continually re-instilled my faith in the world of music.

You know, and I apologize for being late to the party, but when Ben Kenney mentioned way back when that you guys were worth a listen, I had no idea that you guys weren't really just worth a listen. If you had been treated as rightly as you should have, you folks should have been showered with something to the effect of "wow, here's the next big sound in the music industry."

It makes me sincerely sad to see another good band bite the dust. This is the fourth I've been through in my lifetime as a fan (I have a vicious habit of finding bands that are right on the cusp).

Regardless of what you guys finally decide, although I strongly echo the sentiments of some of the above posters and think you guys shouldn't give up on the really good thing you have going, I can guarantee that all of us who listened to you and still listen, will continue to listen.

For whatever piece of the big ole pie of music floating around the universe you guys contributed, well, it's always gonna be there and I am grateful for your contributions, your creativity, your ingenuity, a lil' bit of your souls, and really, more than anything, for putting it all out there for us to share, smile and even "holy crap" at.

Thank you guys sincerely and profoundly.


Brian

Oh jeeze can somebody please shut this chubby kid up!

There's no reason to talk shit about anyone. Nobody truly knows the shit that went down besides nick and the guys...


I for one, am a little disappointed. But In a way this just shows that some of you (or maybe just one) wasn't ready for all of this.

I mean look at what chub chubs said up there about those bands he was bashing, where in his mind are "famous for no reason"

well I have a reason

They don't Split!!!

All the arguments, disappointments, etc. and they're still making music together.


Now, what I just said is in no way a diss towards The smyrk.
I solely blame this on the fans.
I really pulled for you in that dew circuit last yr. For some reason I just think that has a lot to do with it. Anyone who comes that close and doesn't win it is gonna be bummed!

Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe it was something more. I dunno I'm jumping to conclusions.

Anyways getting to my main reason for commenting is I agree with Jason and Nick
It's still the three of you. I think you guys should just continue. Whether it's under the smyrk's trademark or not.

Smyrk Fan

 
First off, J Lush - you're a dipshit. If you actually knew the band and were friends with any of them, you'd know how things went down. Regardless of what is right and wrong in their situation, they are breaking up and it's a shame.

How can you blame that on the fans? Are you the only "Fan" who stayed up late voting for the Dew Circuit? Nope. Were you at and of the shows before Doron joined the band? Nope. Are you the only fan that matters? Nope.

You're a tool. Seriously, who the hell are you to call out fans? And who are you to say they weren't ready for this? Maybe instead of calling out real fans and making stupid conclusions as to why they broke up, you should just be thankful that this band made some kickass music - and not just for you "the only Smyrk fan that matters"

Also, just want to say you're making fun of that kid for being chubby, you look like a retarded version of the Chocolate Rain kid. Nice life.

i really want to thank you for your music and effort. i had a great time being a Smyrk fan and i truly wish you the best in the world. take care, jade.

The good ones always die, and the shitty ones just continue to go on. I'll be patiently hoping and waiting for Smyrk reunite.
