Vocalist Jonny Santos has parted company with SPINESHANK. Over the last week there had been rumours circulating on the web that Jonny had left the band, a fact confirmed by the band yesterday. In a statement, drummer Tommy Decker commented: “The rumour is true. It is an amicable split and is mainly due to musical differences. The four of us have accomplished a lot of things together, the biggest being our most recent Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance for “Smothered”. We are all very proud of the music that we have made over the years but the time has come for us all to move on. As for the future of Spineshank – Mike, Rob and myself will begin the search for a new singer as we write new material and continue to build upon the foundation we have made as Spineshank. We wish Jonny the best of luck in all of his future endeavors.”
