"he is religious. so the answer is no acanthus. no one in their right mind would leave the chance to tour the world and make music and be adored by fans. I would kill to be in his shoes and enjoy what he gave up. What's he gonna do once he refocuses on god? he's gonna be without a band and without shit."

maybe he will go on a mission trip and help people instead of torturing the shit out of them with this music

Band is bad on it's own, but 20% of the reason they were bad was because of him. His autotuner broke at warped tour two years ago in Orlando and he still tried to sing....

Let's just say I'd rather listen to the horrified screams of a small child watching his family be murdered than here him without modifications.

please don't pretend that belief in santa and belief in God are analogous.

anyway, about music...yeah, Franck was never a great singer. who knows, maybe attack attack will benefit by slowly passing all duties to Shomo

My friend fucked Austin after one of the early OM&M and apparently he said he left the band because he didn't like all of the auto-tune they had been using, which he said was suggested to them by Sturgis due to the member's inability to sing on key.
He could also just be lying to himself to keep his ego up...

''Wasn't Attack Attack a Christian band to begin with?''

Nope even though all the lyrics on the first album pointed that way, the band wrote a blog saying how they were not a Christian band. Even though the reason made no sense at all lol.

On one hand, I'm glad to see Attack Attack! falling apart. On the other hand I'm scared that a band member of Attack Attack! quitting to "Refocus on God" is going to mean the creation of another religious-y metalcore band.
