They announced in June 2010 that they will be breaking up.
Aversion Online says: The Methadones take the three-chord simplicity of Ramones-influenced rock and strip it of its sillier themes for straight ahead rock.

Break Out of My Head
The Methadones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drawing conclusions in my head
I was told to strap on a set
Cuz I'm all tangled up in her net
[Chorus]
I wanna breakout of my head
I wanna breakout of my head
I wanna I wanna I wanna breakout of my head
I count my fingers I count my toes
Just to make sure I still know
That I'm human-I'm a man
But I feel like I've crawled out of a tin can
[Chorus]
I wanna breakout of my head
If I can't breakout soon I won't survive
From these thoughts eating me up alive
I can feel this strange friction within
Like atoms splitting into twins
I wanna breakout of my head
The Methadones's song Break Out of My Head is about a person who is struggling with their thoughts and emotions. The opening line, "I'm lying awake in my bed," suggests that the singer is unable to sleep due to the turmoil in their head. They are "drawing conclusions" in their head, likely overanalyzing and obsessing over a situation or relationship. The next line, "I was told to strap on a set," refers to advice the singer received to toughen up and take control of their thoughts and emotions. However, the singer feels trapped or entangled in their thoughts like a spider's web, unable to break free.
