The Showdown drops two members, finds replacements

Solid State metalcore act The Showdown recently parted ways with drummer AJ Barrette and bassist Eric Koruschak. The band posted the following on their MySpace blog:

First things first, if you’ve been out to these last few shows you might have noticed some new faces onstage. Eric and AJ decided that they wanted to spend more time with their families and other responsibilities at home, so they will not be touring with us anymore. They are great musicians and even better dudes and we’ll miss them, but we feel like this band still has some things to say so we’re gonna keep on keeping on!

They’ll be replaced with drummer Yogi Watts of Demon Hunter and bassist Jeremiah Scott, who co-produced the band’s most recent record, Backbreaker.

The band will doing one more show with their previous line-up on June 13 at the Ichthus Festival in Wilmore, Kentucky.
