March 21st, 2013

No matter where you live, of all of the words in the dictionary, “hiatus” is one that never sits well in the ears of music fans. Tigers Jaw have recently announced their premature hiatus earlier today, citing “personal reasons” as the cause of a split among the five band mates.

The group still plans on touring the US in a few months, along with doing a run of European dates with The Menzingers in August.

Follow the jump for a full statement by the band’s keyboardist, Brianna Collins.

After our show in Scranton two weeks ago, Adam, Pat, and Dennis let Ben and I know that for personal reasons they are unable to do Tigers Jaw anymore. This was a surprise for the both of us, but everyone is on good terms, and we respect and support them and their decisions.

A full band Tigers Jaw lineup (consisting of Ben and I with the help of some talented friends) will be doing a full US tour in May-June as well as the UK dates of the previously announced tour with the Menzingers in August. We regret to announce that we will have to cancel the mainland Europe dates. We apologize to the promoters, venues, and anyone who bought tickets.

These are likely to be the last Tigers Jaw tours for the foreseeable future. US tour dates will be announced soon. Thanks.

– Brianna
