I guess the pressure was too much. I guess? The NME is reporting today that new UK sensations TEST ICICLES have split. On the eve of their first US tour and a slot at the NME Awards show, they issued this statement:

"The band have just come off a European tour and are exhausted from the constant pressures of touring, subsequently they have cancelled their show at the NME Awards and US tour.
The band will play their UK tour in April. Details of a final single to be taken from the album to announced. There are currently no plans to make another album or tour beyond this."

There aren't any statements up on the band's site, so is this a joke? They've just barely gotten started?
