Kind of Like Emo

Kind of Like Spitting were always one of those bands who were super ill, but were never quite ill enough to break into some big time shit. I mean Ben Gibbard even played drums for them and still, last time I saw them there were like 4 people there besides me. So it’s not that surprising that they broke up. Here;s homeboy Ben Barnett’s super emo break-up letter. Read it and weep.

Hey everyone.

I just wanted to let you know that all the shows planned for november are cancelled. I don’t have any plans to make a record or continue this project.

My personal life has become too intense to continue writing songs that blame others for my issues.Singing these songs and touring my life into the ground has left me lost and directionless in my life. I have spent ten years of my life getting high and blaming others for my history and inability to control my demons. I want to reach a better place. I want to move FORWARD.

the rest of this post will make you cry

continuing KOLS is living in the past and dredges up too many bad memories to stomach anymore. I feel an overwhelming guilt for the people I have hurt and alienated because of my unrealistic and diluted idea of what it ment to be a “success”.

I will always play guitar, I will most likely start a new band. But even that is up in the air. Right now i have to pick up the pieces of my life and move on. This last tour, Losing Kate, Losing our drummer, Losing my home and the life I thought Kate and I would know has opened my eyes to alot of pretty painful things.

Thank you for listening and Thank you for caring.

goodbye friends. I just can’t take it anymore. The sadness is killing me.

Goodbye.
