Treasured musical acts taking a break often speak of a "hiatus", an extended time off where members "explore other interests" or "focus on family".

Eight years after they broke up, The Tea Party have reformed and put together a new album, The Ocean At The End.

Treasured musical acts taking a break often speak of a "hiatus", an extended time off where members "explore other interests" or "focus on family".

It is often used as an alternative to announcing a formal break-up, giving members time to relax, unwind and decompress from the hectic touring and recording environment.

Sometimes the band gets back together, sometimes they don't, but the "comeback" album is almost always tricky.

Michele Bachmann on 2016: 'No plan to run'

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Washington (CNN) -- Tea party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann is getting ready to leave Congress at the end of this year, but what she isn't too sure about is another presidential run.

"I have no plan to run for president in 2016," Bachmann said in an interview with The Hill published Wednesday.

"I was so honored to be able to do it in 2012. It is one of the greatest experiences in my life. But I think the men who run will tell you too, it's one of the most difficult things you ever [embark] upon."

The Minnesota Republican has yet to completely rule out a bid. In a farewell speech at the Heritage Foundation earlier Wednesday, Bachmann encouraged Republicans to "go bold" on initiatives like tax reform if they takeover the Senate this election.

"You either go bold, or you don't go at all. If you want somebody to lead the debate, I'll lead the debate," she said.

Bachmann has remained a fierce leader in the far right side of the conservative movement, particularly in regards to mobilizing the base. In 2010, she established the Tea Party Caucus in the House. She later went on to win the Ames Straw Poll in 2011, but went off to finish in sixth place in the Hawkeye State caucuses.

Bachmann has mentioned that her retirement from Capitol Hill does not mean she'll be inactive in national politics. In July she told RealClearPolitics that there's a chance she could run against the "various men" that the media has speculated to run. She has since said that was a "rhetorical comment."
