Chelsea Grin drummer quits band
Thursday, June 07, 2012 5:43 AM PT
Chelsea Grin drummer Andrew Carlston has apparently quit the Salt Lake City, UT band. Though an explanation has yet to offered up, Carlston recently had a daughter and seemingly wants to spend more time with his new family. Either way, Carlston says, "It has been an amazing journey with the band and wish them the best!"
UPDATE: Chelsea Grin has issued the following:
"So you have probably started hearing that Andrew is no longer in Chelsea Grin. This is true and we wish Andrew the best of luck in his future endeavors. We do have a new drummer playing for us on Warped Tour and we can't wait to hang out with all of you!"

If you listen to Chelsea Grin, you probably don't get much vertical grin.

Taking the time to be a good father is infinitely better than playing drums in a crappy Mormon metal band.

Fans of a band that talks about killing and mutilating bodies are all of a sudden stoked that a member leaves to be a responsible parent. gays

Even with a new drummer, they'll probably still get beat up in Texas.

I can think of very few bands I could be playing drums in that would validate skipping out on bonding with my new daughter. You would have to be a moron to tour within the first 6 months.
