Oh, Sleeper guitarist leaving band

Oh, Sleeper guitar player James Erwin has announced that he will leave the band in early-2013. Erwin has issued the following statement:
"James here, I come baring bittersweet news. I'm stepping down from Oh Sleeper early next year after our Australia/New Zealand tour. After nearly 7 years, 3 records, an EP, countless tours and endless memories, I'm ready to move on. I'll be forever grateful for the support of our fans. Thank you for everything you've done for us that made this dream a reality. I never deserved this. If I've left any mark on your lives I hope it's this: Never give up on your dreams because they really can come true if work hard and pursue them with everything you've got."

This sucks. Oh Sleeper is one of the best bands of their kind around right now. Hopefully, they can still continue to make good music with a different guitarist. As long as they still have Shane, they should be okay.

Can't believe all the hate on this thread. If you don't like OS you have to just not like Christian metalcore at all because their one of the best out there. Hopefully, they replace that guy soon and maybe book a tour with some half-way decent bands in the near future, is that too much to ask?

anonymous 12/1/2012 7:41:20 PM

Can "Oh Sleeper" please leave "Oh, Sleeper"?
