Does It Offend You, Yeah? have announced that they are going on an indefinite hiatus.

Following on from the release of their second album last year, the band broke the news of their Facebook page, explaining: "We'd just like to announce that DIOYY is now on hiatus for the foreseeable future."

A full statement reads as follows:

"We'd just like to announce that DIOYY? is now on hiatus for the foreseeable future.

After five years touring the world, playing alongside some of our favourite bands and visiting some awesome countries we've decided to concentrate on other projects. James and Dan are working on a new EP for a purely electronic project which we'll bring you news on soon, we'll also keep you informed of what Chloe, Rob and Mattie are up to. We might do the odd very special gig if our schedules permit it.

Thanks to all our fans and see you on the flip side.

DIOYY x"
