Stereo Kicks Split After Just 1 Single
Stereo Kicks are over! The X-Factor 8-piece band have call it quits just after their first (And now last) single, Love Me So (which I actually love in so many way).


Barclay Beales, Chris Leonard, Tom Mann, James Graham, Reece Bibby, Jake Sims, Casey Johnson and Charlie Jones took to their Facebook page to let fans know the harsh reality of the music world. As an unsigned band they have been struggling and are no longer able to carry on as a band. The guys are now going in their separate ways and probably pursue music careers as solo acts (Which was their dreams from the start, prior to the decision that X-Factor judged had to put them together as a band).

I can see maybe 2 or 3 getting a good solo career or the huge band can now become several smaller bands. Let's see what the future holds for these guys! 
The group's final performance will take place on July 25 at Thorpe Park.

Below you can check out their full statement:

A message to our fans…
Hey Everybody,
Let us start by saying what an AMAZING year it has been for all of us!
As most of you know, we created Stereo Kicks during X Factor 2014. We all started off as solo artists and were then fortunate enough to be brought together in the bootcamp stages of the show. Since then our lives have changed dramatically, and for the better! With your help we have headlined our own tour and seen our single “Love me So” (written by the band) reach number 12 in the midweek charts! We started the process alone and became one. Family is often an overused word, but in the last twelve months we have become one!
That is why this next part is hard…
We all feel the time has come for us to now continue our journeys individually.
We have learnt first-hand just how tough the industry is as an unsigned act. Unfortunately, due to these circumstances, we are no longer able to carry on as a band. Please understand that there is nothing more that you could have done and that this is a situation completely beyond both your control and ours. We have considered endless ways of how we might try to make this work, but it is logistically impossible for us to continue as Stereo Kicks. From the bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful for all of your hard work, support and love. We can't thank you enough.
Stereo kicks has been, and always will be, a HUGE part of our lives. We still remain the BEST of friends and will continue to support each other in everything we do. The experience we have had is truly indescribable and it is mostly down to YOU! Our fans! Without your support and loyalty, we wouldn’t have achieved half of what we have…….. you really have been the BEST FAN’S EVER!!
Although this is really sad for us, we felt that we wanted to end on a high. You guys have been with us every step of the way and have been the first to hear our news, and we wanted to keep it that way!
So, we want to say goodbye as “Stereo Kicks” properly….
Our final performance together will be this Saturday July 25th at Thorpe Park. We would LOVE to see you there. This show is for you!
Thank you all so much for EVERYTHING! We Love you!

So, goodbye – For now ; )
