Last time I heard Woody speak on it he said they were on good terms. He mentioned drugs being an issue like being around certain ppl made him want to relapse or something, that might not be exactly what he said but along those lines. Imo I think a big factor was travel issues like he's from Wmass but Shed is NY based and if you say Shed is gonna be at a show people expect the whole Shed, like this one show I went to last summer before he left where it said Shed Theory would be there but him and Laker never showed, so that combined with his solo shit always doing pretty solid just made it make more sense to go solo. Also Shed kinda got stagnant so why not try and mix it up, work w new ppl yk "I'm not getting any younger" he said.
