The King Blues - Breakup

Breakup

On the 3rd of April, 2012, Itch announced officially the breakup of the band. He released this official statement :

"It is with great sadness and very heavy hearts that we must inform you, that as of today The King Blues are no more. We are all immensely proud of our body of work. We will be releasing the last The King Blues album entitled 'Long Live The Struggle' as the final chapter. The album will be released in early July 2012. We simply feel we have taken things as far as they can go and it would be unfair on you if we were to go through the motions like so many other artists do. We all believe strongly in what The King Blues stands for".

Jonny "Itch" Fox has confirmed that he has started a solo project and is releasing music under the name "Itch". His first EP, "Manifesto Pt. 1: How to Fucking Rule at Life" was released online on November 26, 2012.
