Ahead of their appearance at this month's Soundwave, Dayshell have announced they have parted ways with guitarist Tyler Shippy.
In a statement released on their Facebook page, the band cites that it was Shippy's personal decision to leave.
It's worth noting that while Shippy was an official member of the band, he is not credited with contributing to the writing or recording process of the band's self-titled debut album, which was released in 2013.
The band is currently working on their sophomore full-length, which is due out later this year.
Dayshell will be in the country as a part of Soundwave Festival. The two day festival kicks off in Melbourne and Adelaide on Saturday February 21.
A statement reads:
Hello to our wonderful DayShell family!I am writing this to let you guys know that Tyler Shippy
will no longer be apart of DayShell.
It was his personal choice to leave the band, it's really hard
to balance the struggles that can come with being in a band
and tying to living a normal life.
Shayley, Jordan and I have no plans on stopping and
we will continue to write and record our next album as planned.
The three of us wrote and recorded our first album
and we can do it again.
Being in a band and pursuing your dream comes at a price,
we've all sacrificed so much for this and so have our families in order for us to do this. As long as we have you guys, our amazing
fans we call family we are unstoppable.
Our buddy Nick Rossi from the band City In The Sea will be filling in for Tyler at Soundwave. He's a killer player and we are thankful
he is helping us out to do this tour.
Continue to believe in us because we believe in ourselves
and believe in all of you.
Cheers to this next record and chapter of DayShell,
Love you guys!
Raul, Shayley & Jordan.
