Oceansize have split, it's been confirmed.

Posting on their Facebook page, the band posted a short statement revealing the breakup.

The post reads as follows:

"Dear Friends, We regret to inform you that Oceansize has split up. An explanation for this occurrence is neither forthcoming or indeed necessary. All that remains is to say THANK YOU for being there for us. It's been a very eventful and life-affirming 12 years. We'll miss you. There will be more music from each of us as soon as possible."

Frontman Mike Vennart recently joined Biffy Clyro for live dates as a second guitarist. Members Steven Hodson and Mark Heron also form part of punk trio Kong.

Oceansize released acclaimed fourth record 'Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up' in 2010, and played what now turns out to be their final tour, last month across the UK.
