I Was A Cub Scout have announced in a MySpace bulletin sent out to fans on Thursday that they will split in July. In the message, frontman Todd Marriott said that they have been having various problems over the last year, which have caused them to come to this decision. It's true, last time I saw them play, they didn't look like they were having much fun at all.
The bulletin read: "Hello friends, here goes. Tonight we have decided that I Was A Cub Scout has and must now come to a close. We have had countless problems over the past year or so and with yet more occurring we it best to end on what would seem like a decent note. We will be honouring all of our UK shows of which we have confirmed, with the iTunes festival at Koko with Death Cab For Cutie on 14 Jul being our last. We will speak more of it all soon, but for now we must tour. It is a very sad day for us".

11 Jun: Portsmouth, Wedgewood Rooms
