You can read their statement's below. Robbie Guertin: "Dear Clap Your Hands Say Yeah fans and friends, I'm writing to let you know that our upcoming New York show will be my last with the band. Being a member of Clap has been an incredible experience, but I have decided to move on and see what's next. I will continue to make music with my other band, Radical Dads, pursue miscellaneous artistic endeavors, and also grow some vegetables. I am excited to see what else might come my way. Maybe some tomatoes? I feel so fortunate to have been a part of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and wish them all the best as they continue on without me. Thank you to everyone who listened and came to shows and supported us -- you are truly the coolest! If you want to say hi/bye, or let me know about any get-rich-quick schemes and/or legit...

The Amity Affliction stream new single
The title track of The Amity Affliction's upcoming album, Chasing Ghosts has finally been released. After premiering on Stu Harvey's Short.Fast.Loud, you can now stream the track here. The album is set to drop September 14in Australia, September 17 in the UK and September 18 in the US. The Amity Affliction vocalist, Joel Birch had this to say about the track: "I wrote Chasing Ghosts as a narrative based wholly around someone that has committed suicide and has passed onto the other side. It's a story that I hope people will see for what it is; an example in song of why you should turn to someone close and talk instead of taking that last fatal step towards death prematurely. I just want to reiterate to people that once you're gone, that's it. There's no ghosts. There's no heaven, no hell, just finality and the wreckage left behind in the wake of their decision."

Following numerous stints around Australia – as well as their maiden trip to the UK and Europe – in 2011, Melbourne hardcore act Hopeless has kept a relatively low profile for the first half of 2012. Save for a handful of east coast shows and a slot on the Break The Ice Festival, the five-piece has spent the better part of the last six-months penning the follow up to their sold-out seven inch, Human. During this time however, it was becoming obvious that vocalist Brett Sutton and the remaining members of Hopeless had differing ideas for where the new material should be heading, with Sutton subsequently parting ways with the group in late May. Having finished the musical component of what’s set to be their second full- length effort, Hopeless turned to long time friend Mark Bawden of Break Even (who are of course playing their own farewell shows in Melbourne and Sydney this week, bringing their stint as one of Australia’s most-loved hardcore acts to an end) to fill the vacant voca...
