Camberley rockers Reuben have gone on indefinite hiatus.

A spokesperson for the band posted a message on the Reuben website announcing that the band would not play any gigs or record music for the foreseeable future. He did not give specific reasons for the split.

The message read: "The band are not planning any more gigs or releases for the foreseeable future – I should make it clear that the band members are all on amicable terms and are supportive of the need to call a halt.

"This seems like a good time to thank everyone who has helped and encouraged Reuben along the way; some of you have been there from the start, others from last week, some are within the music industry, others are simply fans – it doesn't matter which, you are all important and have given great strength to all concerned."

Reuben released three albums in their career – 2004's 'Racecar Is Racecar Backwards', 2005's 'Very Fast Very Dangerous' and 2007's 'In Nothing We Trust'.

This is a huge blow to the British rock scene. Reuben were so hugely under rated it was ridiculous as they released three amazing albums and deserved a lot more press then they got. If you want to hear a brilliant rock band then do listen to their albums, especially Racecar is Racecar Backwards as it is one of the best albums ever.Hopefully they will return in the future.

A casualty of a British public who will only listen to music if it fits into their specific 'scene' or 'niche'. Reuben were too melodically orientated to fit into the British Hardcore scene, yet too heavy to fit into the 'indie' scene. It's a shame to see such an inventive act call it a day.
