Doomriders replace drummer

Deathwish act Doomriders have parted ways with drummer Chris Bevalaqua, but have already replaced him with ex-Cave In drummer, JR Connors.
The band had this to say regarding the departure and the new member:

Bev unfortunately had to leave the band. It's an amicable split and we are very sorry to see him go but we wish him all the best in his pursuits.

We are very happy however to announce that the man who will be filling Bev's shoes is none other than JR Connors of Cave In fame. He's only been back from Berlin for two weeks and we already snatched him up much to the chagrin of his lovely wife. He's a MANIAC. He's learning our songs and doing a damn fine job of it I might add. We are very proud to welcome JR to the band and are positive he will up the ante quite a bit. Oh and his name is actually John. John Connors..... like in Terminator. How fucking cool is that??

The band includes current Converge bassist Nate Newton and they issued their first full length, Black Thunder last year.
