ROAM announce split, reveal final tour dates

Eastbourne pop-punks ROAM have announced that they're calling it a day.

In a brief statement on social media ("because these things can easily get emotional"), the band explain that they are all "ready to move onto something new" – whether that's music-based, or "just having the time to be home and grow outside of music".

Read the full statement below:

"We want to keep this short because these things can easily get emotional and we have nothing but love for the last 10 years.

"We started ROAM at 18, and never imagined it would take us to the places it took us, or we’d meet the people we met. Thank you for being by our side through all our successes & multiple failures.

"We’re now in a place where creatively & in life, we’re ready to move onto something new. For some of us that might be new musical projects, for others it’s just having the time to be home & grow outside of music.

"Final shows are booked and will be announced shortly.

"We wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thank you for giving us an unbelievable early 20s.

"Alex, Alex, Matt, Sam & Miles

"ROAM 2012 – Forever"

In September, ROAM will hit the road one last time for their 10 Years Is Enough farewell tour, stopping in Cologne, Eindhoven, Antwerp, Birmingham, Manchester and London.
