Yellowcard Bass Player Leaves

Posted by Tom Aylott at 00:15 04/02/12

YELLOWCARD bass player Sean O'Donnell has left the band. You can read a statement from Sean below:

"In April of 2010, the 5 of us met up in Los Angeles to play some music, hang out, and talk about the future of the band. I felt privileged to be invited to get to do so, and it was an amazing couple of days. Fast forward a year and a half and we’ve put out two full lengths, shot 6 music videos, and traveled to almost 30 countries. It’s been an exhilarating time for all of us in the band and some of the most fun I’ve ever had in my music career. Which is why I’m sad today to let you all know that I am leaving Yellowcard.

This is not one of those ugly messy band member departures that seem to plague rock music. This is a personal decision, and it’s mine. Simple as I can put it, playing in a band that is on a full time touring schedule demands a balancing act of work and family that I can no longer pull off and still remain happy. As you can imagine, this was not an easy decision to make, but usually the really important ones never are.

While I feel confident in my decision, I know I’m walking away from a lot. I feel truly blessed to have been invited to such a close knit family, one that I was welcomed into completely. I’ll miss the guys, I’ll miss the shows, I’ll miss making all those ridiculous YC sessions videos. I’ll miss all of the love I got from the thousands of fans all over the world. When my former band Reeve Oliver was on tour with Yellowcard in 2005, I said onstage that all I could ever hope for was for us to attract fans who were as supportive as Yellowcard fans. I meant it then, but now I realize the full impact of the love and support you guys give. It’s immense, it’s real, and it’s completely necessary for this band to survive and to thrive.

Yellowcard has made great rock records before me, and will no doubt continue to do so without me. I will now continue on in the role that I have held for the last 13 years, that of a devoted fan.

Thanks for your time, and thanks for reading this,

Sean O’Donnell"

Rolo Tomassi post new music online

Posted by Tom Aylott at 08:21 01/02/12

ROLO TOMASSI have posted a new song called 'Old Mystics' on their Facebook page.

It's the A side of a forthcoming single, and you can hear it by heading to http://www.facebook.com/rolotomassiofficial?v=app_178091127385.

The band have also announced new members, and made a statement about the release:

"Old Mystics is the new 7" single from Rolo Tomassi.

The track, which is backed with b-side Mesmerizer, is the first to be recorded with new members Chris Cayford and Nathan Fairweather, who have recently joined the band. This follows the departure of Joe Nicholson and Joe Thorpe from the band. Bassist Nathan Fairweather plays in Brontide, while guitarist Chris Cayford joins from No Coast.

Old Mystics, which was recorded with Hysterics producer Jason Sanderson, is the first track to be released ahead of the band’s third studio album, which will be released later this spring.

The single will be physically released on March 26 2012, but if you pre-order it you will receive both tracks as MP3s immediately.

Released via Destination Moon Records.

Tracklisting:
A) Old Mystics
B) Mesmerizer

Head to http://rolotomassi.bigcartel.com/product/old-mystic-7 to pre-order the single and get your downloads.
