Rainer Maria Break Up

Posted by DONTE PARKS at 12:32 AM
Rainer Maria back when emo was good.
Yup, it’s true. This is definitely sending me into a bit of a tailspin. Rainer Maria is probably the first band I ever considered my own and now they’re calling it quits next month. Now to figure out how to get to one of the last dates…

Here’s the band’s official statement:

We are grateful to our new listeners and especially our longtime fans for their endless support and attention. We feel incredibly fortunate to have come up during a unique time in rock music, in a community that grew with us from the Midwest to Brooklyn and beyond. Making records has always been a revelation, and walking onto stage together we found a vision we could share.

For us, this transition can be nothing short of heartbreaking. But for reasons both musical and personal, the three of us have chosen this time to move on.
