Beastmilkin rivit rakoilevat; yhtye joutuu vaihtamaan nimeään
Kotimaisen post-punk -yhtye Beastmilkin kitaristi Johan “goatspeed” Snell on päättänyt jättää yhtyeen. Tämän seurauksena yhtye vaihtaa nimensä Grave Pleasuresiksi. Voit lukea yhtyeen virallisen tiedotteen aiheesta tästä:
“Sadly, due to irreconcilable differences, we have parted ways with our co-founder, guitarist and friend Johan “goatspeed” Snell. We ask you to understand that both sides did absolutely everything they could to make things work, but were unable to find a way to continue together. We all wish Johan the very best, but the show must go on.
Given these circumstances Beastmilk will continue to forge ahead, but will assume the new identity of Grave Pleasures. The band is on atomic fire, with a new album and new members in our ranks. We look forward to seeing you at all of the shows, where we will play your favourite Beastmilk tracks, alongside brand new material from the forthcoming album. We’ll continue to update you here about all our new exciting plans. For now, here is the official statement from Beastmilk:
