Blakfish split mid-tour

By | Published on Tuesday 16 February 2010

Birmingham post-hardcore types Blakfish have announced that they have split. News which seems to have surprised most of the band as much as their fans, particularly as they were mid-way through a tour with Biffy Clyro.

In a statement on their MySpace page, the band said: “There’s no easy way to say this, so we’ll just jump right in. On Thursday 11 Feb in Bilbao, Spain, mid-tour with Biffy Clyro, Sam [Vile, guitarist] decided to announce that he could no longer continue as a member of Blakfish. This came as a complete shock to us and everyone else on the tour…. This was in no way a group decision and [we must] state that it is the choice of an individual which unfortunately affects many other people”.

The remaining members of the band, Thomas Rock, Richard Hollywood and Robert Fruit, have said they will launch a new project together in the near future.
