Drummer Chris Needham has decided to depart from Hamilton, Ontario-based band Counterparts. The group has posted the following statement:"Some very important/sad/exciting/whatever news today. Chris Needham, our good friend and drummer for this past year has decided to leave Counterparts. Unfortunately, the band just wasn't what Chris wanted from life anymore, and that’s basically all that can be said about that."
Counterparts are now looking for a new sticksman. In the meantime, former drummer Ryan Juntilla, who left in 2010, will help out the group and has agreed to rejoin the group so they can continue writing, playing shows and put out a new record.
