Mare (HydraHead) has officially called it quits. Many saw this coming after a long wait to their follow up after their self-titled CD released in 2004 without any updates along the way, but are still quite disappointed.

Here is the official announcement taken from Lambgoat.com

Toronto's Mare has officially disbanded. The group released an EP with Hydra Head Records in 2004. Singer Tyler Semrick-Palmateer has released the following statement:

"We are officially done like dinner. We have been scheduled to write an album for a while now but nothing ever came of it. We (and I think that I speak for Caleb as well) have not been moved or inspired to write anything or put forth any real effort to maintain the Mare legacy. I'm sure that Caleb and I will be collaborating a bunch in the future as I feel that I have found a valuable peer, collaborator and source of inspiration in that tall drink of water. So look out for that.

So anyway, thanks for listening to our music. I'm pleased that some of you have derived a considerable amount of enjoyment from it. That's all we could have asked for. Occasionally we asked for beer tickets and we derived a considerable amount of enjoyment out of those.

Many thanks to everyone that has been in the band and to everyone that has supported us financially, TD Canada Trust, Hydra Head Industries, Dad and the rest of you."
