Howards Alias - The End

The End

On 15 April 2008, Reynolds announced that Howards Alias were to permanently disband. This was the first official announcement from Howards Alias in 2008, although Reynolds had been promoting his solo album, The Wreck of the Hesperus, throughout February.

Drummer Robert King had left the band in January to continue his career, and—following the initial shock—the band had decided to try to recruit a new drummer. In March, however, Matthew Roberts went on tour playing saxophone for Foals and subsequently started tour managing other bands; feeling that he could no longer commit the time to Howards Alias, he also left the band. With almost half of the core members of the band gone, Matthew Reynolds, Nicholas Horne, and David Ransom agreed that it would be "a next-to-impossible task to replace them".

Although disbanding, Howards Alias confirmed their intention to release in a limited run for any fans who express an interest in pre-ordering a copy via their Myspace. 1,000 copies were pressed and can now be purchased directly from the band from their Myspace.
