\"The most important one on a personal level would be that I was getting burnt out from being on tour constantly. I\'ve been married for two years, and I\'ve spent a majority of those two years away from home. I\'m ready to finally build a life with my wife at home. Support her more than I have been. She would never ask me to leave the band and has always been supportive, but for me on a personal level, it was being ready to be home.\"

On a professional level, Jeremiah had been so busy on the road constantly touring that he just wasn\'t able to give his record label Favorite Gentlemen the attention that it needed to get to the next step. He felt he could\'t give his artists the attention they needed to get their releases off the ground. Says Jeremiah:

\"So I really had to look at what it would take to get to the next step with Manchester Orchestra and what I would have to to sacrifice to get to the next step. For me, those things didn\'t balance out. It would mean sacrificing more time at home and sacrificing taking Favorite Gentlemen to the next level, which has really become my main focus and my main passion more so than playing drums. Once I really balanced that out in my head, it just made sense to take a step back.\"

Filling in for Jermiah Edmond on Manchester Orchestra\'s upcoming headlining tour will be Brand New drum tech Ben Homola as well as Colour Revolt drummer Len Clark. The band have no permanent replacement lined up currently.
