The Crimson Armada Recruit New Guitarist, Drummer

by | Mar 14, 2011

The Crimson Armada has parted ways with guitarist Josh Jardim and drummer David Puckett, and replaced them with Brandon McMaster (ex-Sleeping with Sirens) and Jordan Matz (ex-Like Moths to Flames).

“Josh and David left the band earlier this year on mutual terms and with zero hard feelings,” the band commented in a statement. “Both of them decided that a career in full time touring was not for them and are pursuing other non-musical endeavors. Again, this is NO bad blood between us (some of us actually all still live together off tour). We are really excited to have Brandon and Jordan and to continue on the new direction for TCA.”

“This change in lineup does not affect our style or ANY of our material at all. David and Josh’s decision to leave the band was thought out as far back as early fall 2010 before the Miss May I tour. We wish them the best and are stoked to move on with the new and improved Crimson lineup.”
