Two members of Saves The Day leave to focus on Glassjaw

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 12/21/09 @ 10:01 AM - altpress.com

Saves The Day frontman Chris Conley has revealed that bassist Manny Carrero and drummer Durijah Lang have left the band to concentrate on Glassjaw--the band both came from. The pair will be replaced by bassist Rodrigo Palma and ex-Hidden In Plain View drummer Spencer Peterson. Conley made this statement about the changes:

"being that Glassjaw is back in action and touring extensively throughout 2010, Manny and Durijah are leaving Saves The Day so they can be available to rock with the jaw. Saves is moving forward as always, getting two new band members ready to tour this January with New Found Glory. Spencer Peterson will be joining on drums and Rodrigo Palma will be slappin' da bass. we are so stoked to have Spencer and Rodrigo on board, you guys will love them. Rodrigo has been playing bass in bands with Arun since they were both 16, and he's already part of the Saves The Day family, so we're keeping it real. Spencer has been busy out there in the world of rock, manning the drums for Hidden In Plain View and Charlotte Sometimes as well as filling in for other acts when needed. both dudes are talented and down to Earth. all this being said, unfortunately we have not had the opportunity to record Daybreak with the new personnel, however we do have studio time booked at the end of the NFG tour. obviously, the album will be released in the new year. i'm sure you all can understand the difficulty transitioning through lineup changes, and i assure you this change is for the best. we have more motivation and drive to rock now than ever before and i feel lucky to have Arun, Rodrigo, and Spencer to come along lifting the veil of illusion so we can all feel the One and Only Truth... All Is Rock."
