Punknews.org is reporting that Fifth Hour Hero will call it quits after their current tour with Smoke Or Fire and Tim Barry. The band released the stellar Not Revenge…Just A Vicious Crush on No Idea last year.

Bassist Mathieu Guilbault explained their decision:
“But, we’ve been going through that kind of stuff for the last seven years. It’s common for people in bands to deal with this, but I don’t know a lot of bands that stuck around for that long with the popularity and support we had. A lot of the bands we met along the way got deals from bigger labels. They got tour support, sponsorships, royalties, etc. We never really seriously looked for that and no one did it for us. The business side of being in a band never charmed us. Some people will admire us for that and some people will tell us we should’ve gotten our shit together. I don’t think there is a right or wrong, it’s just how we are. We were never doing it for the money and we never made any money with this band. We were just happy to live new experiences and to travel the world.”

The band’s final shows will be in Quebec with fellow canucks the Sainte Catherines.
