Misery Signals bassist quits

2010-10-21 by cvlts | 73 Comments
Bassist Kyle Johnson has parted company with Wisconsin metalcore band Misery Signals.

Johnson wrote on Facebook: "Yes, I have quit Misery Signals. No, They are not broken up."

Johnson's resignation makes him the second founding member to quit in the space of a month, following guitarist Stuart Ross' departure in September to focus on his pop punk band Living With Lions.

Pretty much. They had a good run, and a great slew of albums.

Would be a good run. It would just suck if they called it quits because they're my favorite band. I've seen them so many times.

and lol at Branden liking his status.

I think Of Malice is their best album in terms of musicianship, but I find Controller to be quite more enjoyable because it flows really well, and its got some kind of 'narrative'

Controller is one of my favourite ever albums, so I'll be bummed if they quit, but then I'll be surprised if they top it so maybe it'd be a good time to go.

Glad I got to see em live before their demise. Reset(track#9) into Homecoming(track#10) from Controller is one of the best "2 tracks that are basically 1 long track" ever. Never gets old

"...and break my heart the way it deserves!"

This fucking sucks, but they aren't over. Jesse left, and then they dropped two great albums with Karl. What happened that made both Stu and Kyle quit, anyway? Did something set them off, or was it to join different bands.

Directed toward Crispy - I think they just got really involved in the side projects they were doing. Burning Empires, LowTalker, ect. Even Karl's got his solo project so needless to say Misery Signals as a band seems to have been on the back burner for a while. It really fucking blows. Burning Empires is sweet though.

I think it would be beyond shitty if they broke up but I don't honestly see how they could keep it the same band all the fans love without Stu and Kyle. I really hope they find a way to make it work. Would love nothing more than to have release another LP and have it be their best shit to date. Heres to hoping.

@Ant:

They should have another audition through MySpace. That's how they got Karl. I'm pretty sure that when they're ready to go back at it, they can get a guitarist and bassist through that and they might even be better (or, we could hope; but we shouldn't hold our breaths) than Kyle and Stu.

This didn't surprise me because when I saw Burning Empires play and asked Ryan about a new Misery Signals album, it sounded like it was very distant and maybe not even going to happen with how he told...such a badass band and I really hope they find some way to keep it together though.

Well, if they quit, I guess they wouldn't have any bad records.

However, The Bled only had the original vocalist and guitarist, but still could deliver with the new members a good album.

I'm sure they wouldn't be so adamant about not breaking up if they weren't....right?

I think they would do a new album. I always got the impression Ryan was the true brains behind the
band anyway.
