On April 1 the band posted a message on their Tumblr announcing that they had split. This was followed by a press release from their label, explaining the decision as being due to "uncertainty placed upon them by the behaviors and disappearances of other members." After it emerged that the whole incident was an April Fool's Day prank carried out by drummer Alex Bhore and Magic Bullet Records owner Brent Eyestone, Daniel Hopkins from the "Dallas Observer" named it as one of "the funniest april fool's day pranks in the local music scene."
