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

"Thank you for all the awesome messages of support. You guys are amazing! Please stay tuned to this page or my Twitter page for news on my new band. Have a few songs already written and your messages have inspired three more out of me yesterday! Time to record..."

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
