Metalcore outfit Miss May I announced today the departure of guitarists BJ Stead & Justin Aufdemkampe

Guitarist Elisha Mullins (War of Ages) has been named a permanent member.

The band shared the following on the lineup change:

For over 15 years, we have maintained the same lineup with Miss May I, and today we announce the discontinuation of the era with two members.

It goes without saying that Bj and Justin will not only be missed, but their legacy will continue as we move forward as a group. Both members have decided to pursue new ventures, and we fully support their decision. We all had our eyes on the prize and never took no for an answer when we started this venture, 'Miss May I,' back in high school, and we won't stand in their way as they continue to grow.

In their place, we have welcomed Elisha Mullins, who will be joining us on this journey. We have no plans to slow down as we prepare to celebrate the 15-year anniversary of our debut album, 'Apologies Are For The Weak,' by playing shows all over.

Please help us welcome Elisha into our family with open arms, and here's to many more years of music, adventures, and memories together.

"new venture" is making fruity cocktails at a bar or cutting hair at a shop that idolizes Mad Men

I saw Rick in Walmart the other day wearing a headband, sunglasses, and a greasy gray T-shirt with a cat also wearing sunglasses on it, and the T-shirt said "I do what I want" and Rick was yelling at a customer for buying the last box of Kleenex with lotion, rumor has it the lotion is for his mustache, anyway the spat ended with Rick flipping off the customer as he said "I don't need this, I have an entire herd of people on lambgoat who will literally write about this moment in my shoutbox and you'll be so humiliated." He swaggered off to the self-checkouts and bought himself some Nachos and a silver ice Rockstar energy drink. It was the last time I'd ever seen him.
