us that three members of Boston punk act The USM have left the band. Guitarist Bob Kadlec, drummer John Stone, and bassist Mike Gurley all split from the group earlier this week, leaving singer/guitarist Rocco Antonelli to carry on the name. The band's website is reporting, "[h]aving already had success with [an earlier lineup of] the USM in the UK as well as in Boston, Rocco will be continuing on with a new USM lineup very soon," with the site also mentioning that Antonelli is currently working on two unnamed side projects. The plans of the other ex-members are unclear, though Gurley has participated in the recent reunion shows by his old band Darkbuster.
