Sources are reporting that Britain's Ikara Colt have officially split up. The band posted the following on their website:

Dear friends, just a quick note to say that the band will be splitting up as of now. We would all like to thank everyone that came to see us, supported us, heckled us. We produced two albums and countless singles and we always said that we would splilt up after five years and that five years is up, better to go out this way than to turn into some old, tired and jaded outfit. As we always said this was never a career choice or a lifestyle option and sadly most bands I see seemed to be for those reasons. Cheers once again, Thank you and good night."

They released two records via Epitaph: Basic Instructions and Chat and Business. Most recently, the band released their final record Modern Apprentice.
