NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

This is what I get for ignoring The Shallow Bay for so long. Just found out that Kevin Palmer, awesome singer, reasonably talented songwriter and all-around kickass frontman for TRUSTcompany has left the band due to personal problems. I feel really sorry for him, and as a HUGE TRUSTcompany fan, I sincerely wish him the best of luck with all of the problems he's going through. Am officially BUMMED.

Kevin Palmer was the main reason I fell in love with this band. His raspy and impassioned delivery made Downfall, Falling Apart and Hover the classics they are, and drove their first album The Lonely Position of Neutral deep into my brain for weeks and months on end. True Parallels was a slightly less enjoyable follow-up album, but still pretty kickass nonetheless. With Kevin gone, I hope the band can find a new singer and continue busting my eardrums. Still, it just doesn't seem right to listen to TRUSTcompany without hearing Kevin's voice screaming into my psyche. Dang.

Here's hoping Kevin finds his way back into the music scene, somehow, some way. Here's hoping TRUSTcompany continues to whoop ass. And here's hoping I never get this bummed about another band breakup (or near-breakup) ever again. Anyways, later days!

No one can see anything on the other side of me
I'll walk, I'll crawl
Losing everything and waiting for the downfall
