"We're doin' it out of love and respect for our fans," says Wikström. "We quit before they ask us to get the hell out. We want Treat's legacy to be pure rock 'n' roll happiness! We're going out with a bang and will give our fans a ride they didn't even know they wanted."
Treat also introduces a new bass player, Fredrik Thomander, who's been close to the band for years, has been co-writing songs with the band, mixed Coup de Grace and has done some gigs already with the band.
Treat plan to take you on a turbo charged rock 'n' roll journey in 2013 .
"We wanna party with our fans," says Robert Ernlund and adds: "The Treat's on us!"Updates to follow.
