Exit_International will soon be calling it a day.
With two albums under their belt, the South Wales noise-rock trio have confirmed that they intend to split in October. In their last month together the band will play two shows, the first at Newport's Le Pub, for the We Shall Overcome festival on October 2. Their final bow will come on October 30, when they head to Wolverhampton'sSlade Rooms for Ginger Wildheart's Nightmare Before Halloween.
Frontman Scott Lee Andrews said in a statement:
"As of October 30th 2015, Exit_International will finally self-destruct in a barrage of noise and beats and yells. After 7 years of making headline bands/boyfriends/certain music industry arseholes nervous, the slack will be cut. We have had a fucking blast and we know you have too. We managed to attract those with only the best taste in art into our dirty circle. On paper it should never have worked, but it ALMOST fucking did. A band like us shouldn't get nominated for national awards (The Welsh Music Prize), recieve daytime radio play (BBC Radio 1 – Cheers Ferne 'Baby Dragon Nose' Cotton) and even end up releasing a record & touring our spiritual home, Japan. There's loads of other notches on the proverbial bedpost, but those who were there for the ride will not need reminding. The final shows we have will be nothing but a terminal velocity party until detonation. Oh yeah....and someone is undergoing a sex change."
As a final salute, Exit_International have delivered a new video for Pearls & Swine, directed by Perry Sollis. Check out the premiere of the clip below, but maybe leave the lights on.
Meanwhile, the band will also play two shows this month with Horsefight, at London's Shacklewell Arms on June 19 and The Hope & Ruin in Brighton on June 20. Following that, the bass heavy trio will appear at Abertillery's Slugfest 8 and Birmingham's Off The Cuff Festival.
Exit International Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows:
Fri June 19 2015 - LONDON Shacklewell Arms
Sat June 20 2015 - BRIGHTON Hope and Ruin
