Attack Attack!, who lost their vocalist Nick Barham earlier this week, have released a statement about the split. The band are not in search of a replacement for Barham and synth op Caleb Shomo will take over the screaming vocals. Drummer Andrew Wetzel said, "Why hello boys and girls! Thought we'd throw you all a quick little update about what's currently going on in the AA! lineup. The band and Nick parted ways recently in a mutually agreed non-explosive fashion, which we all believe is the best for both sides.
Caleb is going to retire his keys and start screaming in the front of the band. We DO NOT have a new person in our band.
Don't worry, our music will still be full of Caleb's programming, keys, and all the good things he concocts. It will just be back-tracked live with the 808 samples and other nonsense on my iPod.
Anyways, we're not gonna stop touring, playing shows, and having a generally wonderful time with all of you."
See you in your town soon!
I can't decide if this is a good thing or not... I guess I need to see how good Mr. Shomo is at screaming.
Oh yeah he screamed at the Salt Lake Warped tour the band as a whole wasn't that good that day and I didn't like Barham's scream but Caleb was way good live. They're definitely taking a huge step for the better, no offense to Nick.
haha doesn't matter, not like they can get much shittier. They're a bare step above Brokencyde.
jajaja "808 samples and other nonsense" these guys..
SWEET!!!!!! caleb is awesome at screaming and hes funny as all hell. attack attack is making a totally awesome decision
enmarwen, completely agreed. You give me hope for the music scene.
lol thanks, if only every one was as sensibly tasteful as I, no?
well that's good! I didn't like Nick that well. Haven't heard Caleb though. Maybe this is a good thing?
I don't know about this, Caleb retiring from his keys, to do vocals might not be the best step for them. I think his voice isn't powerful enough for this lineup change but that is just me, good luck boys
Although I do think this is going to bring a heavier side to Attack Attack!, which is always down
enmarwen &x3xkenzyx3x i like attack!attack! im not like 1fan but they are sooooo not as bad as bc13. i hatethem as much as you do im sure and think they are bad forthe music scene BUT i dont think AA is as bad as them lmao
This is going to be very intersting. I'm seeing them tomorrow and hopefully they bring the same energy that all 6 brought at bamboozle and warped.
bc13 is Brokencyde? Damn kids and your acronyms. Anyway, I said they're not as bad as Brokencyde. BrokenCyde is the shittiest thing to ever happen to music. EVER. They raped music and left her on the side of the road leaking sperm.
