Really shocked by getting this statement just now from their PR:
We've got some sad news.
It's with a very heavy heart that we have to let you know that Ronan has decided to leave the band. He feels it’s best for him to move on and do other things. The three of us will still be making music and will let you know what happens next.
As our songs always came from the four of us playing together we've also decided that it wouldn't feel right to continue "delorentos" without him.
We're all very proud of the songs we've written over the last year, we feel they're some of the best we've ever done, and as a result we're determined not to discard them or let them go.
Next month, the four of us are going to record this album together and plan on making it something we'll all be proud of. It'll be our last collection of songs as delorentos, and we hope you'll like them.
We want to thank everyone that's supported us since we started, we'd never have gotten this far without you. We hope to play a gig or two to say goodbye.
We'll be in touch soon with more details.
Ross, Níal and Kieran and Ro

But I have an inexplicable fondness for delorentos and their earnest, energetic guitar-pop shenanigans! They're my 2nd most played band! I object to the content of your post. Please delete and come back with better news, even if you have to make it up.
Irish scene is in free fall! Night shift, Road Records - almost (!) The Indie Hour, These guys, The Things, The Dagger Lees. Whats next..?
Wow. What a decision. Can't really believe it. :-(
It's like Boyzone all over again, damn Ronans :-(
R.I.P Delorentos...
Miss you, guys
fuck, this is terrible. brilliant band and i really thought they'd break out of ireland too.
dying to hear the new album though.
hope they come back in a villagers style way.
The Things haven't split up. That's wishful thinking!
I am so disappointed by this. They were such a great band. Hopefully they will do a few gigs for the new album and decide that it's all worth it after all.
The Things have in Fct Split up . And they were a great band
Horrible news but not a huge shock I think. They've been complaining on their blog for a while about the struggles for money, recognition, etc. Have seen them a good few times down here in West Cork and they were always great, energetic and fine songs. Pity.
