Every Time I Die respond to ex-drummer's statement

Alternative Press - Scott Heisel on 6/30/09 @ 6:33 PM - altpress.com

Just a few hours ago, we told you about how Mike "Ratboy" Novak parted ways with his band of 11 years, Every Time I Die. Well, the band haven't taken his slightly acrimonious statement lying down, and have fired back a missive of their own via MySpace blog. Instead of trying to sum it up, we'll just let you read what the remaining members of ETID had to say, word-for-word:

"After 11 years of being involved with this band, Mike "Ratboy" Novak has indeed decided to quit Every Time I Die. Yesterday morning we received text messages that he wasn't going to continue anymore. 15 years ago, when someone left their band, they would get drunk, fight their friends, and we'd learn about it from Kurt Loder at 10 minutes before the hour. Today it's in a text messages and you guys find out on a messageboard. To be honest, it was something we have seen coming for some time now, but were uncertain as to exactly when or how it was going to happen because, as everyone who has ever met him knows, his communication skills leave much to be desired. That being said, he simply didn't feel the need to talk to us about any problem he was having or discomfort he was experiencing with any situation in particular. For the past year it has felt like we were playing with a drum machine or a pre recorded backing track. He completely shut off communication with us, contributing only to the band when onstage and opting to take no part in any social activity while on tour or to be present for the filming of our upcoming DVD. Whatever his reasons were, he simply was not a part of us anymore mentally or emotionally.

So now, us at Every Time I Die are confronted with a small hurdle which we will no doubt jump in order to become a new version of the killing machine we've always been. The person that fills the vacant shoes Ratboy left is going to be more hungry and more intense and bring a renewed energy to the stage, not simply be able learn the songs and repeat them for a half hour every night. Someone that doesn't take being in a band for granted and wants to destroy everyone and every thing sonically. Someone that can appreciate the amazing people we surround ourselves with and the opportunities we've been given. With our new record "The New Junk Aesthetic" on the verge of blowing the earth a huge gaping asshole, we couldn't be happier that our insecurities and personal conflicts are in the past. and if you dont believe us, just check out our myspace "mood". cannot wait to see you all again. keith jordan andy and josh."


Drummer or no drummer, ETID's new album, New Junk Aesthetic, comes out September 15 on Epitaph.
