We recently had the pleasure of chatting with Dar, the insanely talented drummer of the incredible band Cascadence. I’ve been gushing about the band for a while now, so if you haven’t done so already, definitely check them out. They also fall into the category of “audio crack.” After just one hit, you’ll be coming back for more. And trust me, the only thing to cure your addiction to Cascadence, is more Cascadence.

My Chemical Romance’s drummer Bob Bryar has decided to quit the band. The 30 year old drummer left the band a month ago, the band didn’t take it at all lightly and it’s not at all known who will take his place. One of my good friends adores him and she couldn’t believe that he left, he was an awesome drummer. Mr. Bryar was born in Chicago, Illinois, he joined MCR in 2004 and replaced Matt Pelissier. He started playing drums at a young age and even played in his school’s marching and jazz bands. He has been dealing with a wrist-injury and has had some surgery done but that’s not known wheather this is the reason for leaving. Although a missing piece is left in the band, their new album is still in the makes. But how will they finish without a drummer? Bob, we miss you and for the unknown reasons you quit we still wish you the best of luck. If you want more info, you can go here.
