I Will Sell My Kidney, I Swear

There is no easy way to put this since I am still foggy on all the details of what happened here. We had purchased our tickets, designed brand new merch, prepared ourselves for a merry old time and then last friday we get word that all the dates are being pulled. IN NO WAY DID TROPHY SCARS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CANCELATION OF THIS TOUR. Again, Im not sure what happened but inevitably: we are ****ed.

This isnt just about our dream of going to Europe being taken right from under us, its more about Trophy Scars not being financially stable enough to progress further. We all personally shelled out money for this tour that we expected to get back. There goes a few of our individual goals and aspirations thrown out the window as well. We emptied the rest of our band fund to make sure two of our members were able to afford to go over to the UK. There goes everything that was left for the band. And now we are stuck. In debt. Wondering what to do next. Were not sure; we can barely afford gas to get around town let alone all meet up in Georgia or New Jersey collectively. Everyone involved with the cancellation of this tour is looking at us shrugging their ****ing shoulders acting like "hey, its not our fault." Well, its certainly not our fault. This is the worst thing that has happened to us as a band and has destroyed our morale. After 5 years of giving it our all, we have decided to take a break.

We would love to record more music for your ears but right now its just not possible. This is NOT THE END but it is a HIATUS. Until we are able to get back on our feet again and let music make sense again we are doing our own things. Record labels, managers, booking agents... somewhere along the line we all were disillusioned. It seems like everyone gets a piece of the pie except us. Weve worked too hard. Weve bled too much. We gave it our best and I guess our best is just not good enough anymore. This industry is a brutal one indeed.

Keep your heads up. Well be back sometime,
Jerry and Trophy Scars

this is horrible news. man.
this must have taken the life out of the guys :/ to say that I was excited for this tour would be a huge understatement, I've been waiting for this tour for 5 years. Imagine how ****ing letdown the guys themselves must be :/

I need some reassuring words. They say it's not forever, but I'm scared.

I gave 5 dollars to the cause. But seriously, give out the 2 or 3 of the Bad Luck demos with the donations given as an incentive.
