Estrons have announced their split.
While the news has seemed to come out of the blue not long after the release of their debut album and with tour dates coming up, a statement posted on social media suggests all was not well in the camp for some time. “Estrons is over,” it begins. “This band was never supposed to last this long, but we’re glad it did.”
“Estrons kind of means ‘strangers’ in the Welsh language, we met as strangers, became friends, became less, became more, then less..now we leave as strangers again. We wrote some great songs together, crashed into towns and cities all over the world for some unforgettable gigs, and met some incredible people in every one of them.”
“Estrons has been our lives for the past 5 years, it’s been tough but amazing, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything. Creative and personal differences made us what we were, it only makes sense that they now make us what we are – Strangers.”
Estrons made Live4ever’s end-of-year lists in 2017 thanks to one of their early singles, Strobe Lights, and went on to release the You Say I’m Too Much, I Say You’re Not Enough LP last October.
