Though they haven't been featured on this blog in the past, Copeland are dear to my heart. This past month they announced that they will break up after their upcoming spring tour after 10 years together. They had a very unique sound, and I'll miss their music.
It's not all bad news though, as Aaron Marsh (vocals, guitar, piano) has recently teamed up with Stephen Christian of Anberlin under the name Anchor & Braille. Plus, they are calling it quits while on the top of their game. To some this may be a bad thing, but to me it just means I don't have to hear a lousy album as conflict tears the band apart. And we get a farewell tour. They insist that this is also not a bitter breakup, but that Copeland has simply run its course.
It's always tough when our favorite bands breakup, especially when they use their music in a way that improves people's lives, like Copeland did last month for a fan with an aggressive form of cancer, on in their work for UNICEF. Best of luck to them.
