Bleeding Through replaces guitarist

Bleeding Through has announced the addition of Dave Nassie (No Use For A Name) to their line-up on guitar. Nassie replaces Jona Weinhofen, who recently left the group, and has recently been filling in for Bring Me The Horizon. The band comments: "Jona Weinhofen, who joined Bleeding Through two years ago, told us during our North American headliner that he would be leaving the band. As he put it, while he enjoyed his time with us, he missed Australia and of course our well documented financial struggles last year due to Trustkill Records lack of timely commitment to their contractual obligations (which continue; they are 90 days late on royalties) all led to his decision. We love Jona and we appreciate his contribution to Bleeding Through and his work on our new album, Declaration. He did agree to complete his touring obligations with us which concluded with the Thrash N Burn Tour in Europe. Jona filling in for Bring Me The Horizon came up later, as he explained to us, and we take Jona's word at face value on that." Weinhofen had the following to say: "After a lot of soul searching in the past 6 months I have decided to leave Bleeding Through. It was a difficult decision and one that I'd hoped would not impact on the band too greatly. I've lived in California and toured the world with BT for the past 2 years and I would not trade that for anything. One of the unfortunate things about relocating internationally is that you're always left wondering what you're missing out on back home where you are from. I have great friends and family whose lives I have not been an active part of for the last two years and I miss them and my home country greatly. Bleeding Through is one of the strongest bands I have ever known, they have obviously overcome the most extreme obstacles and nothing will deter them from doing what they love. They are a band of heart! For the next few months I will be filling in for my friends Bring Me The Horizon, before returning home to Australia. Thank you Marta, Brandan, Ryan, Brian, Derek and everyone else involved with Bleeding Through in one way or another, for teaching me a lot about music, friendship and life, and for giving me an amazing 2 years." Meanwhile, Bleeding Through adds, "Moving forward, we're excited to welcome Dave to the band, we're excited about the rest of the touring we have planned for this year as well as completing a new record deal and making new music. With a new publishing deal with Sony in place, a merch deal with Warner Music Group and a new album deal on the horizon, the business of Bleeding Through is shaping up to allow us to continue making this music that we love and that we love making FOR YOU for a long time. Thanks for all of the support over the years. The best is yet to come!"

i think the news release need to be a bit longer

complete_whore 5/29/2009 6:39:31 PM

The dude from No Use For a Name? That seems a little out of place...

liferuinerjailbait 5/29/2009 6:42:08 PM

didn't read anything past the first paragraph. No Use For A Name is random, and dude filling in for bring me the horizon is really random.

hotaction 5/29/2009 7:14:36 PM

youaresceneasfuck 5/29/2009 7:21:51 PM

Perhaps their keyboard player can replace my girlfriend.

Dave Nassie was also in Infectious Grooves by the way...

HBDad 5/29/2009 7:42:43 PM

It should also be mentioned that Dave Nassie is also in the band "The Innocent" with Brandon from Bleeding Through on vocals.

why do bands think they are multinational corporations or something. these stupid rambling press releases are unnecessary

baobab 5/29/2009 11:29:12 PM

Sucks that they spent so much time typing this shit out, cuz no one cares about them.

RogerKlotz 5/29/2009 11:35:20 PM

earth crisis is better

DaveClinch 5/30/2009 7:46:27 AM

It should also be mentioned that Marta, the keyboard player, needs to gain some weight. She looks like a crack whore...

theanyday 5/30/2009 10:10:00 AM

Jona is an awesome dude and guitar player

Danger 5/30/2009 12:00:13 PM

Flamboyant_Cowboy 5/30/2009 12:52:55 PM

Where is The Legend when you need him? Wait, he's 40 years old putting on black eye liner at the moment.

WE'RE NOT ABOUT MONEY, WE'RE NOT ABOUT MONEY, WE'RE NOT ABOUT MONEY

Dyami_LIAV 5/31/2009 7:40:22 PM

I still thoroughly enjoy this band. Most recent album could be their best release ever, but it wasn't promoted much and people slept on it.

forumdrama 5/31/2009 10:19:42 PM

Not gonna lie, this is the weirdest shit I've ever read... Apparently I don't read enough weird shit.

ShockinglyStillDizzy 6/1/2009 2:35:37 AM

"he missed Australia " Didnt Crafter say the same thing,when he left BYD?

thedrone 6/2/2009 1:05:25 AM
