Hope Of The States have confirmed that they will split.

The band made an announcement over the Carling Festivals weekend that the gigs would be their last live performances. Now they have confirmed their second album will be their last, and they will not continue to work together.

Their statement reads: "We can walk away at this point as friends and be increasingly proud of what we have done. Thank you to everyone for all your support and the incredible times we have shared with our fans and supporters."
