The Damned Things, the band (we think) featuringĀ Every Time I DieĀ vocalist Keith Buckley,Ā ShinerĀ bassist Josh Newton,Ā AnthraxĀ guitarist Scott IanĀ andĀ Fall Out BoyĀ guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley,Ā is now down one guitarist. According to the man himself,Ā ex-AnthraxĀ guitarist and currentĀ VolbeatĀ guitarist Rob Caggiano is no longer with The Damned Things and hasn't "spoken to those dudes in a bit."Ā Caggiano also adds he has no idea who's in the band currently, so for all we know that lineup at the top might not be accurate anymore.
Caggiano does say that he's proud of the work he did with the band prior to his departure and says playing with the group was a "blast." The Damned Things presumably have a new record either in the works or done, as far as we can tell, which will be their followup to their 2010 albumĀ Ironiclast.
I guess we'll know more about their lineup when they hit the stage atĀ Welcome To Rockville inĀ Jacksonville, FL on May 4.
