Leya call it a day

A message on their myspace site informs fans that "Leya have split up. That's the short and (not so sweet) of it".
The band, who formed in Belfast seven years ago, released their debut album last year to critical acclaim. Watch You Don't Take Off earned them support slots with Starsalior and Snow Patrol among others.
They were due to begin work with Chris Potter, producer of The Feeling and The Verve, at the start of this year, but instead Ciaran Gribbin, Paul Hamilton, Gareth Hughes and Michael Keeney have "decided to move on into something different".
While the foursome thank the people who've helped them on the way, they've yet to reveal exactly what their future projects are. Stay tuned to hotpress.com to find out...
