Hope And Suicide news and notes

Florida's Hope And Suicide has undergone some lineup changes recently as drummer Kevin Ryan and guitarist Sean Ryan have decided to leave the group. The split was a result of several factors including personal responsibilities and an unwillingness to tour, but was wholly amicable. Good friend and roadie Pete Wellmaker will now be handling drum duties while the second guitarist slot remains unfilled. Regardless of the lineup alteration, the band is still on track to release their debut album, "Razorblade Smile," on September 24th via Ides Of March. The bands future plans include extensive touring and a new recording, which they have already been working on.
