Chiodos looking for a new drummer

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 5/14/09 @ 8:35 PM - altpress.com

Chiodos have announced that drummer Derrick Frost is no longer with the band on their MySpace page. Chiodos are also accepting drummer submissions to audition.

A statement for the band reads:
"After rocking together for nearly 5 years, we have decided to part ways with our drummer Derrick Frost. We've got nothing but love for the guy, we just feel it is the right move at this time as a band. Don't worry, there was no crazy drama or anything of the sort that needs everyone freaking out about. We are parting on good terms and are very thankful for the time and dedication the Derrick has given us and our fans over the past years. We send him our best wishes on whatever he pursues next and we know that you all will as well. We ask that you continue to support us as the bonded musicians that we still are as we continue to write new music and enjoy old tunes together. Because currently we are getting deep into writing a new record, and are beyond stoked to finish it up for all to hear!"

If you'd like a chance to be the next drummer for Chiodos--and have touring experience--e-mail keyboardist Bradley Bell at bradleydbell@gmail.com.
