Reverend and the Makers will quit after the release of their second album, frontman Jon McClure has said.
Speaking to BBC 6Music, McClure said he no longer wanted “anything” to do with the music industry. “It Absolutely stinks,” he added.
Reverend and the Makers are due to release their new album, 'French Kiss in the Chaos', at the beginning of 2009.
McClure, who claimed to have already sacked his management company, said he wanted to “go out having told the truth and with my head held high and having stood for something.”
"I feel like a sore thumb in a piranha pool in this industry. I don't like the way it's all run by rich men in their 50s who went to private school.
"It's not something I want to be part of,” he said.
When asked what he planned on doing with the rest of his life, McClure said he would "retire and become a pedal taxi driver".
