Haste The Day frontman quits

Haste The Day vocalist Jimmy Ryan has left the group on good terms. He has released the following statement: "So, I've decided to leave the band. Before anyone jumps to any conclusions, it was my own decision. I feel like this chapter in my life is coming to a close and it is time for me to move on. The guys in my band are my best friends and my brothers and my decision to leave has been a difficult one. I will miss them quite a bit as they continue on and as the band continues to grow as I am confident it will. The past 4 years have been some of the best years of my life. I want to thank everyone that I've met while traveling all over the nation for sharing your lives, your homes, your cities, your emotions and your love with me and the band. I have a list of people about 10 miles long that I want to thank but I could go on for days about how you all have affected my life so positively. So let me thank you all here, you know who you are. I'm stoked to move on but sad to say goodbye after these last few weeks on tour as I finish out the year with the guys. My last show will be December 30th @ The Knights of Columbus in Indianapolis, Indiana. If you can come out, please do so we can have one last dance."

hotaction 11/22/2005 4:09:11 AM

is there like a standard speech for leaving shitty "hardcore" (whatever it is these days) bands now?

wyldweasil 11/22/2005 7:29:13 AM

WWHTDD is the question you should ask yourself

NIGdestroyer 11/22/2005 1:51:44 PM

x633x 11/22/2005 4:53:17 PM

him and the dude from Symphony in Peril are starting a youth mission? i called this dude out a few weeks back at a show and i thought he was gonna cry. hopefully equal amounts of kids did the same thing and he is fed up w/ it.

killemo 11/22/2005 6:18:49 PM

if zao tried to get on the radio you would get haste the day

ToiletFleet 11/22/2005 9:31:43 PM

I hear it's going to be their heaviest, fastest, and darkest material to date.

Selvin 11/22/2005 11:07:18 PM

So in other words, he realized the noise pollution must come to an end.

x205x 11/23/2005 10:02:27 AM

We should all be thanking "God" for making him quit. Maybe they can find someone who actually has some decent vocals.

johnnyxplague 11/23/2005 12:15:22 PM

LordofChaos 11/24/2005 8:37:52 AM

Very nice guy if you ever meet him. But I really don't care about this news, god bands, or god period. They all sound the same anyway. They all sound like Zao. Must be their 'god given voice.'
