HASTE THE DAY PART WAYS WITH GUITARIST JASON BARNES

Posted by Ben Sailer on 21-Jul-08 @ 04:00 AM

Popular Solid State metalcore act Haste The Day have asked guitarist Jason Barnes to leave the band due to his disbelief in Christianity. The band issued the following statement on their blog:

Hey Everyone,
This is going to come as a shock to many of you. After much prayer and thought given to the matter, we asked Jason Barnes to step down from his involvement with Haste the Day. For a while Jason has been searching and searching for real meaning in his existence. After several months of reading literature and talking with friends, Jason had determined that he felt there was no God and certainly no Jesus. We as a band do not have problem with those that do not believe in Jesus, nor do we cast judgement on those that do not believe in Jesus. We just want to love on people like Jesus would and hopefully share a little bit about what he's done and doing in our lives. We would call ourselves a Christian band and for that reason, we felt we couldn't have someone in the band who didn't agree with the band's foundational drive.. Jason's new found disbelief in what the rest of us have committed our lives to began to cause disunity within the band and as a result, we prayed and talked about it and felt like God was saying it wasn't time for Haste the Day to come to an end. Thusly, We asked Jason to leave.

The rest of the blog can be read in full here.

The band is currently prepping a new album, following up last year's Pressure The Hinges.

BRAND NEW IN THE STUDIO

Posted by Brian Shultz on 19-Jul-08 @ 04:17 PM

Brand New are in the studio recording new songs, according to video documentation of one of the recent tour stops for frontman Jesse Lacey's current solo tour.

An anonymous source recently indicated to Alternative Press exclusively that the band is once again recording with producer Mike Sapone (Taking Back Sunday, Public Enemy, Crime In Stereo), who also handled 2006's hailed The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me.

No word from Lacey or the band on a release format or tentative date, though it's assumed the songs will still be released through Interscope.

The video below shows Lacey forgetting the words to a part of "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot" and then mentioning the recording.
