I just read today in Pitchfork (which I've only recently started reading again) that BYOP will be breaking up after their current tour. Well, to tell the truth, I'm not surprised.
Their early music was raw, and full of promise. The cover they did of Queen's "Bicycle Race" was fun, and delivered the edge that the music scene was missing at the time.
The new album, however, showed that the music system had chewed them up, cleaned them up and pumped them out as berkeley-alike punkers. I had unsubscribed from their myspace updates a long time ago.
It's a shame. They were a good band, but that was over a long time before they split up.
