Hier das Statement der Band:
"It is with great sadness amongst IDW that I bring the news that Jake will no longer be a part of the band. After founding the band and spending three years helping the band get on its feet, Jake has moved back home to Idaho to pursue his career in audio engineering. Jake was recently on tour with Equal Vision artists Pierce the Veil as Front of House/TM and will be continuing touring with them as well as other bands in the future.
We can't express how excited and happy for him we are, but we also can't express how much we will truly miss him. We have had some incredible shows and many unforgettable experiences together. We support him in his decision and honestly wish him more success than anyone; he really deserves it. Hopefully one day we'll be lucky enough to be touring with him.
Jake will be on tour in January/February with Funeral For a Friend, Emarosa and The Sleeping followed by the Taste of Chaos tour in February/March with Thursday, Bring Me The Horizon, and Pierce the Veil. If you make it to any of these shows, look out for him and give him a giant hug for starting this band giving us a chance to be a part of it.
We love you Jake. You mean more to us than you'll ever know.
Evan, Jon, Randy, Brent

As far as filling his position on guitar, as many of you could have already guessed, our fill-in Chris will more than likely be taking over full time. We're excited to be bringing him into the fold at such an exciting time for us, so please make sure to give him support and make him feel welcome."
I DECLARE WAR haben übrigens einige Weihnachtssongs online gestellt. Ihr findet sie HIER.
