Perth Post-Hardcore Band Statues Are Calling It A Day

It’s a sad day for Perth’s heavy music scene with post-hardcore outfit Statues announcing they’re calling it quits are a decade of making music. The band reflected on their career, including highlights from the start, the many iterations of members and ended with a big thank you to the fans who supported them along the way.

In a lengthy post on Facebook, the band revealed the news stating:

This month marks ten years of being a band, but after three iterations of members, a demo, a 7”, a 10”, and two albums, 2019 will be our last.

When Statues started, we had no idea that anyone would care even in the slightest about what we were making. But we were embraced with so much love from Perth’s music scene it was overwhelming. Nothing will compare to the feeling of seeing people screaming lyrics back to us from the pit; songs that were from our very first demo.

The experiences we got to have playing with some of our idols, and all of our best friends, will forever be a part of us as people, and we can’t thank you enough for giving us these memories. It’s going to be wild recounting in our old age the time when Matt’s strap broke and his bass smashed into three pieces, the time Scott failed a guitar toss and cracked the back of his head open, the time Dan threw up on his own snare drum in Adelaide, that one gig where Duncan suddenly couldn’t make it, so with absolutely no rehearsal, our friend Jake filled in on drums for a show… Hell, the list is a mile long and none of this would have happened had you all not supported us.
