Drummer Jeff Fabb and guitarist Blake Bunzel have left Southern California metal group In This Moment to join Durbin, who releases his debut, “Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster, On November 21.
Durbin shared the news in a recent interview with Noisecreep...
"I'm really excited about the guys I have playing with me,” said James. “My lead guitarist, Dylan, also plays in a metal band called Archer - who you might know from them opening for bands like Black Label Society. Our bassist, Tyle, played in a glam band called Dirty Penny. Our rhythm guitarist Blake Bunzel and drummer Jeff Fabb left the band In This Moment and are now doing this with me full time."
A few days later, In This Moment let their fans in on the news, via their Facebook page, writing:
“We want to announce that Jeff and Blake are no longer a part of In This Moment. They have left the band to support American Idol contestant James Durbin, and we wish them the best in their future endeavors. We are embracing this change with open arms, and a renewed spirit…. sometimes you have to let go of whats in your hands to reach for something greater!
“In ...the meantime, we are back in the studio, writing for our new album and the new songs are sounding better than anything we've done to date, we are aiming for a summer 2012 release so get ready and look out for a bigger and badder ITM in the coming year, thank you again to our friends and fans for all your love and support!”
“Love Me Bad,” the new James Durbin video, premieres this Wednesday, November 16.
