Alternative rock band Framing Hanley dropped a new song titled "Mean It (Photographs and Gasoline, Pt. 2)" and announced a new EP "Flowers".
The song is designated as a sequel to the penultimate track on the band's 2010 album "A Promise To Burn". As stated by Kenneth Nixon, the band's vocalist, on Instagram:
"To say I’m proud of this song or where we are as artists right now would be an understatement. We’ve been sitting on this track for almost 2 years. I took a trip down to Houston to track this with the homies @richieisme and @robbyjoyner in 2023 and I knew we had a certified banger. This is the first song from our upcoming EP “Flowers” and it would mean the absolute world to me if you checked it out. It would mean even more to me if you shared it or added to your personal playlists if you dig it."
The tracklist and official release date of the new EP are yet to be announced.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DFyTJEcK4zr/
Their statement reads:
"Effective immediately, Tyrsson Demarest is no longer associated with Curses. We ask that everyone please respect our privacy regarding this matter.
That being said, due to an untenable situation brought about by personal conflict within the band, we have decided it's best to put Curses on an indefinite hiatus. We will be releasing one final song in the coming weeks.
We'd like to thank everyone for all the time spent, the moments shared, and the memories made together. It really isn't possible to fully express how much this has meant to us over the years.

Thank you for always supporting the pillows.

The members sincerely thank all the fans for their constant support over the past 35 years. These years have been a truly memorable journey, and it’s all thanks to the fans.

The members are deeply grateful to the fans who valued their music and supported them throughout their career.
