Yeah, well, this is hard for all of us to say, but we have broken up. We have been getting a few messages asking us whats going on, and well, some things had come up, and things got a bit rough for us, and we had a talk, and decided that the best was to call it quits. By no means does this mean that members of DBD will NOT be seen in other bands, or around town at shows. And by no means does this mean that there was any personal problems within the band. We are all friends and forever will be friends... We did however decide to leave our site on here so that you guys can listen to our music, and maybe influence other musicians with some of the music that we created. And please, continue to leave comments and whatever you want. Thank you for all the support from the begining to end!!!
