Jokingly citing a “17-year itch” for the reason to call it a day after six studio albums, they thanks fans in a statement.

“We still love each other but, cliché notwithstanding, musical differences have led to us moving on and of course we all wish each other well in the future.”

There is no word on whether the band’s forthcoming album ‘Release The Drones’ will be released or not.
