Irepress has announced the addition of Benji Gram (ex-Eroica) to their line-up on guitar. The group notes that "Many of you who have been keeping up with our tour blogs should know that Ben has been Irepress' right-hand man for the past year with being our tech on the road. We know him as the boy genius and figure he was raised by wolves. We have already started writing new material with Ben that we're scheming up for the new year ahead to start noddin' heads and melting faces."

Gram seemingly replaces guitarist Bret Silverberg, who is "going back to school." According to the band, "We want to assure you all that [Gram] will still be very much a part of Irepress and its writing process. We all wish him luck and hope he gets those good grades, otherwise he's grounded!"
