who: Attack Attack!
why: because frontman and screaming vocalist Nick Barham has "non-explosively" left the band. This sucks, because I hate when bands breakup... it seems like the music never comes out the same. Bands like Emarosa, Dance Gavin Dance, A Skylit Drive just to name a few off the top of my head have suffered because of lost members. On the other hand, bands like Blessthefall and The Fall of Troy have been able to overcome losses like these with new gains and in some instances, an improved sound.
The main thing that I'm not really feeling with this change is that instead of replacing Nick with someone new, Caleb (keys/programming) is gonna take the frontman posish and replace the performance of live keys with an iPod (sampled). I'm personally hoping it'll just be a temporary sacrifice and they find someone new, because I love the fact that there are six of them making such layered, aggressive music.
