“It’s with a heavy heart we announce our final shows,” the band shared via social media. “We’ve had an incredible run largely thanks to all of you incredible people, but we’ve decided to bring it to a close. It has truly been amazing to share our music with y’all onstage and off.”

The band will end following two upcoming shows in Nashville, when they will play at Exit/In on Sept. 7 and 8.

For nearly a decade, the band has been popular in Nashville’s pop and punk scene, and has released three albums. The group, which includes Jordan Smith, Emmett Miller, Evan Bird, Brent Toler, Mike Boyle and Ian Bush, initiated at Belmont University. In 2009, they released their debut EP Aloha!.
