Emarosa lose singer

2011-04-11 by dansxdead | 104 Comments
Altpress has exclusively learned that embattled vocalist Jonny Craig is no longer a member of Emarosa. The band are not breaking up and they will still be playing their scheduled set at Bamboozle. A statement released by the band reads: "As of today, Jonny Craig is no longer a member of Emarosa. This decision has been a hard one to make, but we feel it is in the best interest for the band going forward."

Craig joined Emarosa in November 2007 after he was kicked out of Dance Gavin Dance. He appeared on Emarosa's 2008 debut, Relativity, and their self-titled follow-up in 2010.

Good. More time for him to write and record with DGD then.

I mean, he'll likely be spending this time doing cocaine instead, but still.

no surprise here... it was bound to happen at some point.
hopefully he can continue his work with DGD.

i think the hate for johnny is definitely acceptable but is getting somewhat overblown.

yeah we all know the shit that he has done and we don't need every sputnik user trying to be funny by posting a comment about his mac book scam or coke habits.......
WE FUCKING KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THAT.
ITS TIME TO MOVE ON AND JUDGE THIS GUYS MUSIC FROM NOW ON, not his past douchiness.

unless he manages to do one more disgraceful thing, then i'm not supporting his music anymore.
let's see if he can recover from his pretty shitty first quarter of life.

can't we get Craig's name in the news article title?

recent events have clearly rendered him a public figure, independent of the band(s)

agreed. sometimes i sorta wish that news articles followed more of a wiki format, where other users could edit them pending mod approval.

i know that would be a pain in the ass for the mods and people would fuck it up, though.

TMobotron- what is ridiculous about that statement?

people are too wrapped up in what this guy does off stage.
but if he doesn't learn from his mistakes (after going to rehab and sending out the apology about a month ago) and fucks up again then it will get to the point where i'd be embarrassed to support his music.

i agree with narshh, palumbo is one of the best vocalists in the post hardcore world. jonny craig may have a better range and all, but the way palumbo tweaks his voice all the time and his screaming put craig to shame

guy from lady radiator
daryl
aaron weiss has a much much better delivery which is just as important as any another factor of being a good vocalist
Cedric
guy from in pieces
honestly idgf what you think but imo Jordan Dryer even though he doesnt sing, still a better vocalist
Jason Butler from letlive.
ehyeahh
but Jonny Craig is definitely on the list right after those people ^
