JJ72 have decided to call it a day after 11 years together.
The Irish indie warblers have split with immediate effect due to ‘record company issues.’
Mark Greaney, Fergal Matthews and Sarah Fox said in a joint statement: " We remember everything, from mechanical birds in Japan to angels in arid Arizona, from broken bones and Berlin birthdays to predatory Portsmouth spiders.
“For those who disliked and perhaps despised (gasp) JJ72, thank you - how did beautiful photographs exist without a negative?! We crafted two monuments of magnificence for the future aural pleasure and pain of all would be JJ believers and doubters....and for those who care not for the passing of the petulant yet powerful pup....shame on you!”
“Thank you to Hilary Woods (former bassist) for being a dazzling damsel and thank you to all who played music in/with the band. You know who you are. "
However, JJ72 fans should hold back the tears as frontman Mark Greaney is currently busy working on a solo album.
JJ72 achieved moderate chart success with the singles ‘Snow’, ‘October Swimmer’ & ‘Oxygen.’
