Breather Resist part w/ singer

Following several days of rumors, it's now official, Breather Resist have parted ways with vocalist Steven Sindoni. Reasons behind the move haven't been detailed, but Sindoni will not be replaced. Instead, bandmates Evan Patterson and Nick Thieneman will handle vocals going forward. Additionally, the group will no longer play material from previous records. According to Patterson, "Most of the lyrics are written from [Steve's] perspective and it would insulting to ever attempt to play those songs without him." Meanwhile, Breather Resist have written nine new songs and continue to write more. They expect to release a new album next fall. For his part, Sindoni is forming a new band that will begin practicing next month.

m00k 12/15/2005 5:38:21 PM

Hey, guys, did you forget what band this is? He's the singer for BREATHER RESIST. It's not like he can't be replaced.

paradigm 12/15/2005 5:45:04 PM

yawn of the week.

playdough_head 12/15/2005 5:49:47 PM

wow, fcking garbage.

thejamesdeantrio 12/15/2005 5:58:44 PM

this is terrible, terrible news. I love Steven :(

thisisforever 12/15/2005 5:58:50 PM

this is true but its fcking gay. the reason they kicked that kid out is because he REFUSED to do 'sassy' vocals. that's honestly why. fck these guys.

twodegreesbelow 12/15/2005 5:59:08 PM

good. the singer sucked.

RustyPS 12/15/2005 5:59:30 PM

They should change their name, the whole dynamic of the band is gonna change. Really shitty news.

sailor 12/15/2005 6:04:45 PM

This really sucks...

Fraulein 12/15/2005 6:15:52 PM

OH WHAT THE fck?!

elliot 12/15/2005 6:48:18 PM

i never got to see them after charmer came out. wanted to see them jam those songs sooo bad. now i can't. let's hope the new stuff is just as good.

Strongarm 12/15/2005 6:51:19 PM

Never listened to them

elliot 12/15/2005 6:52:53 PM

"the reason they kicked that kid out is because he REFUSED to do 'sassy' vocals. that's honestly why. fck these guys."......hahah, yeah i bet that's the ONLY reason he's not in the band anymore. you got it.

Fenton_D_Daxter_the_IV 12/15/2005 7:20:39 PM

I'm so angry I'm shaking. This fcking sucks. Honestly, just break up.

thelame_o 12/15/2005 7:22:16 PM

this is some gay-ass news to read.

carlthetruth 12/15/2005 7:32:19 PM

yeah the singer was pretty meh. new vocals should help. good band

LordofChaos 12/15/2005 8:12:34 PM

It doesn't matter what this band does as far as losing and adding members because they're a very SHITTY, SUCKY, gayGY bunch of queers band anyways!

youresomodest 12/15/2005 8:16:32 PM

They're all good guys and there's no reason the band should dissolve just because Steve's not in it anymore. That's fcking stupid. There's more to a band than it's singer (although Steve is an awesome front man). The new songs are fcking killer.

omegaman 12/15/2005 8:25:52 PM

I love this band, one of my favorites, but if there was someone they could lose and it notbe devastating it was Steve, he is a cool mofo though and I'm sure he'll be missed. I wonder wtf this is about.

mikecole 12/15/2005 8:30:58 PM

he really wasnt that good. he had no variation and really didnt bring anything new to the table. mediocre band anyways.

xannebowmanx 12/15/2005 8:39:08 PM

Sucks that they won't play their older songs.

deadwithfear 12/15/2005 8:58:49 PM

wow. i'm glad i saw them before this happened.

hotaction 12/15/2005 9:03:50 PM

i know he left...but im sure you guys will all be over it tomorrow.

surfjam 12/15/2005 9:07:34 PM

boring vocalist. good band

HookersAndBlow 12/15/2005 9:11:19 PM

stupid band that things there cool because they spin there guitars.

jimbo 12/15/2005 9:22:06 PM

this is lame. great band, but if the singer is leaving and they're dropping all of the songs, why not just change your name?

Mudhoney 12/15/2005 9:28:51 PM

god damnit, their old songs rule live

thisisforever 12/15/2005 10:07:13 PM

sorry gaywall, that is definitely why. i live here and i hang out with this kid occasionally and breather wanted to change their style, but sindoni refused. that's flat out why. black cross/widows is about to change theirs as well.

weird_beard 12/15/2005 10:58:38 PM

Ah man, Steve was a sweetheart. Big loss. Life goes on.

xtroyx 12/15/2005 10:59:06 PM

shit. this band is awesome, and will not be the same. a new chapter though.. i'm curious to see what the band churns out.

die_die_die_slut 12/15/2005 11:32:30 PM

BR coming straight from 502 niggas

cuttolength 12/16/2005 12:23:26 AM

damn, i liked the vocals

conduit 12/16/2005 12:26:29 AM

Yeah, they are changing into a hip hop posse

yeahsure 12/16/2005 1:00:09 AM

riiight. steve didn't get kicked out because he wouldn't do sassy vocals. i know for concrete fact steve was tired of just screaming and wanted to change the vocals himself. they kicked him out for reasons that are between all of them.

emy_eel 12/16/2005 1:26:23 AM

damnit how am i going to get steve to sign my copy of chamer now? fck

anaturaldisaster 12/16/2005 2:07:39 AM

Great band and good guys...I remember Evan saying something about the new material being sludgier and more rockish, which I'm not sure Steve's vocals would have suited anyway. I hope his new band kills, the guy's a got a solid scream.

yeahdude 12/16/2005 8:28:17 AM

there's not enough room for two YEAH(blank)S in this town, jerkass.

rarefactor 12/16/2005 10:18:27 AM

Thank goodness I saw them a couple times after Charmer came out, being that they'll NEVER PLAY THOSE SONGS EVER AGAIN.

sharkxpunch 12/16/2005 10:35:24 AM

this really, really bums me out. basically, my favorite band

xdxmx 12/16/2005 10:49:51 AM

oh fck no

stabface 12/16/2005 1:02:12 PM

great band

margaretyang 12/16/2005 2:30:10 PM

saw them and loved them! too bad... still a brutal band!

theblackhole 12/16/2005 2:47:38 PM

he is irreplacable

soreloser 12/16/2005 3:14:45 PM

I think this is the best thing that could have happened to Breather Resist.

soreloser 12/16/2005 3:16:11 PM

For I know people who enjoy the bands music but have been so personally offended & repulsed by Steven's rockstar ego that they dare not step foot anywhere near their shows despite having the most utter respect for the rest of the band.

soreloser 12/16/2005 3:19:09 PM

I'm not exactly sure why he was kicked out, although from hearsay he claims Evan has asked him to dumb down his lyrics because they're too "intellectual" (I doubt that).. but why support a band where the lead singer openly mocks his audience?

soreloser 12/16/2005 3:20:25 PM

Breather Resist will go on without Sindoni and even if they don't the rest of the band is talented and dedicated enough to move on & be successful in other projects.

soreloser 12/16/2005 3:20:49 PM

Perhaps now that he has been removed from his pedestal.. he can reevaulate his life & see what a fcking jackass he has been to everyone around him that doesn't offer him drugs, ass, or an ego boost.

Xithyl 12/16/2005 3:59:18 PM

Still shitty as hel today.

aggnate 12/16/2005 4:04:06 PM

gayest news everrrr :(

cryptic_slaughter 12/16/2005 4:56:24 PM

I fell asleep during their last set

thealcoholic 12/16/2005 5:09:29 PM

shitty. never got to see this band. might as well change the name now.

abaraxas 12/16/2005 9:04:35 PM

their guitar player rips off the jesus lizard to no end and he wouldn't be shit if it weren't for his pedals. musicians like that bore me. look at me i have to have 30 amps and 20 pedals to sound good...I'm so glad he left that band.

Dooder 12/17/2005 1:54:33 AM

god fcking dammit

x633x 12/18/2005 12:21:22 AM

yeah go to practice and you won't be kicked out of your own band. i heard Abscice was getting back together. SIKE!!!!!!!!

hangthedj 12/19/2005 10:46:35 AM

fck fck!!!!!!

margaretyang 12/20/2005 1:50:14 PM
