Several media outlets are reporting that Santos has officially split the band; antiMUSIC contacted a representative of Roadrunner Records that confirmed the split and provided an official statement from Spineshank drummer Tommy Decker.

Here is the statement from Decker, �There has recently been a rumor circulating about Spineshank having parted ways with our lead singer, Jonny Santos.  The rumor is true. It is an amicable split and is mainly due to musical differences. The four of us have accomplished a lot of things together, the biggest being our most recent Grammy nomination for 'Best Metal Performance' for 'Smothered'. We are all very proud of the music that we have made over the years but the time has come for us all to move on. As for the future of Spineshank ? Mike, Rob and myself will begin the search for a new singer as we write new material and continue to build upon the foundation we have made as Spineshank. We wish Jonny the best of luck in all of his future endeavors."
