Default Glassjaw fucked?

Glassjaw - remember them? You know kids, the ones you used to love sooooo much, until Taking Back Sunday came along. [/patronisation]

Anyway, looks like they're fucked.......

Taken from Punktastic

Hey Everyone. I wanted to write a letter about my current situation, and I thought the best way to do it was to post it here.

Over a year ago in August, Glassjaw played our last show after years of touring and we decided to take a hiatus. We were all fried and needed time to do our own things. It got to the point where we were on top of each other way too much and it was starting to take its toll. Everyone decided to take some time off and do what they wanted to do for awhile..... Fast Forward to a few weeks ago.

People start asking me about this Glassjaw show in December that I know nothing about. So I look on the computer and find that there is a confirmed show.

After thinking this was a mistake I called Beck and just wanted to clarify. I found out Beck's vision of Glassjaw these days is vastly different than mine. As far as I know, Beck plans to play the show with only himself on guitar, Daryl, and two hired musicians on drums on bass. After seeing Beck's vision of Glassjaw I realized I was not part of it anymore.

I didn't quit the band..... I'm just not in it anymore. I'm not really sure what the future of Glassjaw will be, if any ........ For almost 10 years of my life I've had some of the most amazing times with Glassjaw. I've met great people, bands, friends, and made great music that will always be a part of me. I didn't expect it to end like this but I have to move on................

Thanks to all of you guys for everything, your support has always meant so much.

................... A side band i put together while we were on break has now become my main project. It was called Easy Tiger, but we had some legal issues, and are still between names. Expect music soon...........

Thanks again, hope to see you all soon. Stay in touch. tlerrone#gmail.com........

Oh and don't worry if you are going to that show in December it will sound great. Beck has a box of green line 6 pedals with the loop feature so you won't even miss me!

- Todd


Game over? Maybe......

Glassjaw were one of those bands that everyoine always said were good but I just couldn't see it at all.
I have one of their albums (I think it is called everything you ever wanted to know about silence) and thought the vocals were really bad

Both albums are ace. Fuck you all.

I reckon we will geta third album, but it'll be all about the drugs, bitches, and collostomy bags.....

Incidentally, if he has had surgery, he must have had something SERIOUSLY wrong, cos they don't often operate on Crohns unless they really have to...
