Neon Jungle have split up.

The four-piece group, made up of Jess, Asami, Shereen and Amira, confirmed the news on their official Facebook page. Here's the full message:

"Ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten." This, from day 1, has been our mantra and always will be.

We started our journey in an unknown, unnamed "girl band" just 2 years ago. Within that time, we went (rather quickly) from four strangers, to four complete best friends. From being unknown, to being recognised all over the world. From being unnamed to "Neon Jungle”

But Neon Jungle is more than a four piece girl band. 

Neon Jungle are Ohana. Ohana - formed by all the love and support we have received over the past couple of years.

Which is why writing this is extremely difficult.

After many honest and heartfelt discussions, we have all agreed with a tremendously heavy heart, that it is time for us to continue our journeys individually.

This does not mean for a second we have separated! We will always and forever be in each other's lives, and ALWAYS be supportive of one another.

Although this is a heart breaking reality for the four of us, it is also extremely exciting, and we would love for all of you guys to also continue our new journeys with us.

4 for the price of 1 aye!?!?

Ohana is forever

Thank you so much for everything past, present and future.

Yours very truly 
Jess, Asami, Shereen & Amira"

In their two years together, Neon Jungle racked up four Top 40 hits, including the Top 10s Braveheart (Number 4) and Welcome to the Jungle (Number 7). Their album, Welcome to the Jungle, peaked at Number 8 on the Official Albums Chart last October.

Truly sad news, they had too much potential. They were putting out there something different from
the average girl band scene we are used to. Their tunes also appealed to a more
mature market which was great. The songs were played on cars and clubs around carefree, like they were a cool band that no one feels shame or cringe.
