Seth Brown quits Countervail

: Today Seth Brown from Countervail let everyone know he has quit the band. Below is the statement he wrote for their website, the Status website and for news pages all around.

"I have posted many "quitting" or "break up" letters on my own website in the past, so it feels weird to be writing one for myself and my former band. From my experience from knowing many musicians, one of the main reasons people quit the bands they love has to do with a reality check. This is my reality check. I have been in Countervail for 2 years now and I am almost 25 years old, and Countervail (since I decided to replace the former drummer) was simply a part time band. It has become way too part time. Some people leave bands because of schedule conflicts, maybe lack of interest or some just see it as the band has run it's course. I fell all these emotions towards Countervail, so I have officially quit. For a long time it has been virtually impossibly to write new songs, and that was the main reason I had joined the band in the first place. In quitting I feel like I might be leaving the band empty handed, which sucks, but this is what I have to do. I would like to thank the band for all the great times we had, the fans who came and always supported us. Quitting a band on good terms is a great thing and a great feeling, so I have no room in this letter for negative slandering towards Countervail. No gossip here for you gossip hounds. I wish Countervail the best of luck and really do hope they find a new drummer and remain a band. Until next time, peace. Seth / Status."
