Who Gives Kudos:


July 28, 2009 - Tuesday 
After 3 years , 1 album , 6 singles , a 27 track compilation CD and a DVD , plus more hit and run , feedback and noise drenched 20 minute gigs than we can remember.... The Manhattan Love Suicides have decided to split.

The reason ? Quite simple really : We'd made our point.

Some bands form , and they keep going for many years. The Manhattan Love Suicides were never about that. We were never career driven ; we just wanted to make an impact , like 4 sticks of dynamite thrown into a stale music scene. And in our own way , we did what we set out to do.

The music remains , and that is the most important thing. We're all very proud of how much we did in the short time we existed. The last thing we ever wanted was to become stale. End it while it's still fresh. While it's still vital. While it still counts.

So , thanks to everyone who came to see us , to everyone who appreciated the music and to everyone who supported us. This is not the end , it's just a new beginning. Adam and Rachel have formed The Medusa Snare and the debut album will be released by Squirrel Records soon , Caroline and Darren are contributing vocals and guitar respectively to Ailsa Craig , aswell as working on new material together which will be released later in the year.

The perfect band did things the perfect way - and committed the perfect suicide. We're thrilled and proud to have shared stages, beer, guitars and curry with you. We're sad as hell at the same time but well, what a way to exist and what a way to bow out. Inspirational.  x
