[edit] History
In 2004, Astrid released their third album - 'One In Four' (named for the statistic that "one in four of us will suffer mental health problems at some time in our lives"). They then had a successful tour supporting Snow Patrol. Shortly after, the band split up, apparently due to singer/guitarist William Campbell's alleged problems with drug abuse.
Drummer Neil Payne now drums for fellow Scottish band, Texas.
Bass Player Gareth Russell now plays for fellow Scots, Idlewild.
