Melbourne band The Broderick have decided to call it a day, wrapping up their 7 year existence as a band. There are no plans for a farewell show either.

"About two weeks ago we returned from our first tour of South East Asia and Japan, the experiences and memories we will keep from those few shows will last us a lifetime. We were so honoured to be able to meet such amazingly hospitable people and to see some beautiful parts of this world just from being five friends that wanted to play aggressive music together.

Unfortunately those will be the last shows that we will ever play as we have decided that we will no longer be an active band. There are way to many people and bands to thank from the 7+ years we have been a band but to everyone who has helped us and supported us in anyway we thank you.

Logan, Ben, Marc, Ash & Steve - Free to Rot, Free of Sin."

The band last released ‘Free To Rot, Free Of Sin’ through Dead Souls Records in April of 2012. The album was recorded at Capital Sound Studios by Jimmy Balderston (A Secret Death) and Viva Hate Studios by Martin Kirby (Carpathian), Mixed by Matt Ellard (Radiohead, Converge, Weezer), Mastered by Alan Douches (Every Time I Die, Blacklisted, Baroness)
