Chiodos Frontman & Drummer Quit

by | Mar 27, 2012

Chiodos frontman Brandon Bolmer and drummer Tanner Wayne have quit the band.

Bolmer said in a lengthy post on Tumblr that “the last tour we did was pretty intense. There were more frequent arguments, and it seemed that we were reaching a point of extreme frustration for the whole team.”

Wayne released a similar statement on his personal website, commenting “I’ve been out of Chiodos for a while now. Sadly enough, our personal and business relationships went to shit. Just being honest.”

He added, “The last tour was the roughest of times for us. Within the first week I tore several ligaments in my right ankle and another member broke his foot. On top of that, I heard a member wanted to leave to go to school and start a family. That was it for me.”

“I tried to contact the band after the tour and they didn’t seem to care.”
