gone on to make amazing records together, tour the world, and have been fortunate to gain the support of people, more than we could have asked for. We get to go out on our own accord, on a final record and do some final tours celebrating the band one last time with the people who gave us a great career. Listen to 'Clockworked' and keep your eyes peeled for further touring announcements. SFTP finish by saying, "This is a mutual decision — there's no bad blood, we love each other, and we love you all.
