As previously reported, Toronto's SCARLET SINS recently announced the band had called it quits due to creative differences. Bassist Tanya Nicklaus has checked in with the following message to the fans:

"Hey guys,

Just wanted to say thanks so much for all the kind words of love and support I've been getting about the break-up of Scarlet Sins. It's so wonderful to know that we've touched people's lives with our music. I have absolutely no regrets... it was all definitely worthwhile. Although I'm sad and disappointed about the break-up, I do believe everything happens for a reason in this life. The important thing is that we try to learn from our experiences, whether they be good or bad, and keep on kickin' ass.

For everyone who's been awaiting new material, let me assure you that it's in the works. I will keep you all posted through this blog page of new developments to come in the next few months. A very exciting new project to come with a voice you might recognize ;) Stay tuned!

Thanks again for all love and support. It touches me more than you will ever know."

Following is the press release announcing the end of Scarlet Sins:

"To our faithful Sinners,

It is with a heavy heart that we're announcing the end of Scarlet Sins.

Sadly, in spite of all that we've accomplished prior to and beyond the release of our debut album, we've come to a point where it no longer makes sense to continue as a band. Scarlet Sins is made up of four individuals with their own ideas of where we should take our music. The deeper we got into making our second record it became more and more obvious that the dynamics just weren't there. Some of the ideas gelled, some didn't, and unfortunately some of the gaps in our thinking were too far and too deep to bridge.

Rather than make a mockery of our debut album and everything we've accomplished we've decided it's best if we move on to other things. We part as friends, and we're eternally grateful to the people that have stood by us and made Scarlet Sins something worth remembering.

We would like to thank all of our fans for the unconditional support and for every email, note, message, letter, comment you ever left us encouraging us to do what we love to do. Each of us fed off your strength and support, and, hopefully, we've given that back to you through our music.

Also, thank you to every DJ, journalist, sponsor, producer, promoter, agent, manager, publicist, band, roadie, tech, former band member, friend and relative who helped us along the way. Without you, we wouldn't be able to cherish the memories we will have forever.

The four of us will continue to make music, of course. Watch our personal MySpace pages for updates as things start to take shape.

We came, we saw, we kicked ass, we went out on a high note."

<3,

Sylv, Cris, Tanya, Elie
