Misery Signals Focusing On Side Projects

Misery Signals are planning to take a bit of time off to focus on their various other ongoing side projects, including Burning Empires and Solace. Tentative plans have the group reconvening in mid to late 2010 to begin work on their next album.

Band guitarist Stuart Ross recently checked in with the following update on the matter:

“Hey y’all kiddies!

2009 has been a momentous year for Misery Signals, we traveled around the world, played a ton of shows and did it all with the help of too many amazing people to thank.

It has been an honor and a privilege for MS to travel to places such as Moscow, Russia, Bangkok, Thailand, and Auckland New Zeland to perform.
Special thanks to Architects,Comeback Kid,Protest the Hero,The Amity Affliction,Bane,Outbreak,The #12 Looks like you,Your Demise and all the other cool ass bands who made this past year unforgettable.

So where does that leave us now?

Well, after grinding as hard as we have this year (as well as the 7 previous years of grindage) we are planning to take a little down time from MS. A bit of time to chill out.

I know what a few you out there may be thinking when you read the words “time off”, but don’t fear, Misery Signals is our passion, and has been the driving in force in our lives for the last 7 years. We plan to come back at writing the next album fresh faced and inspired, ready to make a great record.

Over the next few months we plan to spend time writing our next record and working on other musical/personal endeavors.
