Break-ups: Hiretsukan (1998-2002)

Brooklyn hardcore band Hiretsukan
has broken up. Their last show was on November 9 at Dumba in NYC with
Witch Hunt, Beer Garden and the Profits. The band recently released an EP titled
"Invasive / Exotic" on Winnipeg's G7
Welcoming Committee Records. You can check out the song "Barrel
Roll" from that EP. The G7
posted that:

Although they say it wasn't the $26 royalty cheque that put
the final nail in the coffin, we have our doubts. Look kids, we're sorry! It was
only 5 weeks of sales! But in all seriousness (?), this is a fucking tragedy,
cuz they were better than Tragedy, and we're sad to see them go. We look
forwarad (sic) to their reunion tour in 2012!"
