Oh, Sleeper reveals new guitarist, writing album

In the wake of the departure of guitar player James Erwin, Oh, Sleeper has announced that band bassist Nate Grady will be moving to the guitar spot. Meanwhile, the group has also begun work on a new album. Here's the official word:

We wish our brother James Erwin all the best in his future endeavors and we are very excited to announce our new guitarist. Nate Grady, will be moving from bass to guitar. For those of you who don't know, Nate was a student of Shane's for quite some time and is an absolute beast on guitar. His switch to guitar opens up a whole new world of playing for us, a world of shredtacular riffs never before played in Oh, Sleeper. We are very excited to have him as we begin the writing process for the NEW OH SLEEPER ABLUM TO BE RELEASED NEXT YEAR! Get excited, because this next Oh, Sleeper album will be unlike anything you have ever heard from us before. Now, without further ado, we introduce Nate Grady.

This guy must be friends with the dude from Arsis. Why do bands post these videos on lambgoat? Don't they know we're just gonna laugh at them?

Good news. Can't wait to hear the new album. This probably won't make a big difference in their sound, since Shane does all the leads and is the main songwriter anyways. Either way, looking forward to whatever new music OS puts out.

I can see why he is a bass player/guitarist and not a singer. His voice sounds like Ernie from Sesame Street.
