Didn't they retire?  I remember reading something about some fan girl doing some odd viral marketing campaign to push Vaden Todd Lewis' new band.  It was some piece about the effectiveness a single person can have pushing something with current technology.  They credited her with some of the reunion, but I didn't know they were still kicking around now.  I saw them at some streetfest in the City back in the late 90's.  They put on a good show, but each band only plays a few songs at those things.

Their last album came out in 2012. Don't know about any break up. I know Lewis has several side projects, including the Burden Brothers, which put out a few pretty damn good records but nothing since '06.

I just have Rubberneck.  I looked it up and they broke up in 2002 and got back together in 2006.  I never expect much from these bands that get together, so I kind of tend to discount their last 8 years touring and putting stuff out.

I had a friend try and get me into them about 10 years ago. I gave Rubberneck a listen, and really liked the intro song "Mexican Hairless." The rest of the album didn't really do it for me, though. The songs seemed a little slow-paced for my tastes. I'll have to go back and give it another try, though; I only listened to it a couple of times and I barely remember anything about it.

Iirc, they had a lot of record company problems. Poor promotion, stuff like that.
