One Without

One Without splits up

Here is an announcement from Swedish band One Without:

"We have jointly decided to not continue with One Without, and are going separate ways to focus on other bands instead. One Without will not continue to function as a band, and we won't be working with the band at all.

This is not due to any hard feelings in between us as members, we are still very good friends and everyone feels this is the right thing to do, it's just a natural move in musical taste combined with having a lack of energy for keeping One Without alive.

We have put all our hearts and all our energy in this band for so many years, and unfortunately we just don't have it in us anymore to continue as it is, as it has been a long uphill battle in too many ways.

When there is no joy left, and everything concerning the band becomes a struggle, there is no reason to continue as we all play and create music first and foremost because we love doing it. And at the end of the day it should be fun.

We will continue to use One Without's Facebook page to announce the members upcoming bands, as we are moving in different musical directions, so don't "dislike" OW's page if you want to stay updated!

Keep your eyes open, and you can expect updates about our new ventures in the near future.

(For those of you who pledged at pledgemusic, you will get a full refund at the end of the funding.)

We would like to give out special thanks to ALL our fans, as well as our current endorsers Mayones, EMG, Soultone and Artbeat, Pernilla and Magnus at Strömblad Ekonomi, our Publisher Jana at Yell Music, Olle Töpel, Kristofer Bergman, Joseph Astorga, Daniel Bävernäs, Markus Mönttinen, Roberd Palm, Alexi Front, Pontus Hjelm, Mattias Wänerstam, Dragan Tanaskovic, Dead by April and Marionette for an awesome tour last winter, and of course our families and friends that have supported us through the years! If we have forgotten anyone, don't worry, we will burn in hell!"
