Obits Break Up

Obits are calling it quits. The Brooklyn-based band featuring Rick Froberg (Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu) and Sohrab Habibion (Edsel) posted the above photo to Instagram yesterday with the caption, “This bar is closed! We’ve succumbed, we’ve surrendered, we’re visiting Davy Jones’ Locker. Thanks for the grand time. Seriously. It was a gas.”

After realizing that they’d made this announcement on April Fools’ Day, they clarified, “OBITS IS DONE. We were lucky to have a good run. Thank you. Sincerely. And, not to worry, we’ll continue to post relevant garbage & photos of Sohrab’s cat.”

Obits released three albums on Sub Pop between 2009 and 2013. 

Here’s their video for ”Pine On”:
