Two rise to depart

7:46pm Monday 13th February 2012 in CDs By Harris Dee

Rise To Remain have had to cancel an American tour following the loss of two members of the band.

They have parted company with their bass player Joe Copcutt and drummer Pat Lundy on the eve of their first American tour and as a result they will no longer be able to take part in the shows supporting Machine Head. The band has apologised to all their US fans but has assured them they will be playing shows there very soon.

Rise To Remain will head back out on the road in the UK and Europe, as previously announced, in March on their headlining tour with German metallers Heaven Shall Burn in support.

New members will be announced in due course. In the meantime Rise To Remain would like to thank Joe and Pat for their contribution to the band’s success and wish them well with all their plans for the future.
