Toronto, Ontario, Canada-based all-female hard rock band SCARLET SINS has split up. The group says in a statement, "In spite of all that we've accomplished prior to and beyond the release of our debut album, we've come to a point where it no longer makes sense to continue as a band.

"SCARLET SINS is made up of four individuals with their own ideas of where we should take our music. The deeper we got into making our second record, it became more and more obvious that the dynamics just weren't there. Some of the ideas gelled, some didn't, and unfortunately some of the gaps in our thinking were too far and too deep to bridge. Rather than make a mockery of our debut album and everything we've accomplished, we've decided it's best if we move on to other things. We part as friends, and we're eternally grateful to the people that have stood by us and made SCARLET SINS something worth remembering."

SCARLET SINS supported MÖTLEY CRÜE at Sarnia, Ontario, Canada's annual Rogers Bayfest on July 10, 2008 along with Canadian rockers REVOLVER.

According to the group's official bio, SCARLET SINS "incorporate[d] diverse interests such as metal, industrial, rock and classical into their sound, intertwining these influences to create a unique sonic drive with prowess and originality."
