We've finally received confirmation on what was becoming painfully obvious: ULTRASOUND have split. The hotly-tipped group, labeled early as a cornerstone band of the "Nu-Psychedelic" movement, released their debut disc, "Everything Picture," to much critical disdain earlier this year. Shortly thereafter, the band began cancelling festival gigs amid rumours of problems within the ranks. Nude Records have finally confirmed the split, but added, "All five [members] are intending to carry on making music and it is not inconceivable that a number of them may choose to work together on new musical projects in the future. It's also more than likely that a new Ultrasound will rise from the ashes." Despite the wide criticism of "Everything Picture," it remains a top pick among many of us at Excellent Online, and we can only hope for their future success.
