The Crimson Armada Calling It Quits
Saud Ahmed of The Crimson Armada has posted the following statement online about the band calling it quits:
"Closure. A lot of people are wondering what in the world happened to this band. Jordan, TCA's last drummer wrote a statement but never really consulted our management nor the rest of the band before posting and thus the result was just a bunch of confusion. I am going to clear things up briefly as possible.
"Crimson broke up for a multitude of reasons. The first and primary reason was because of a lack of passion. It is no surprise the difference in sound between our two full lengths , Guardians and Conviction. Guardians was written over several years with the original members kyle, and david and myself (saud). The album reflected what we wanted to play and how I felt about things at the time. over the course of signing to metal blade records and latter years we didnt really receive the push we expected and I ended up going out and selling merch for other bands and finding other things to occupy my time like recording and engineering.
"Over what seemed like an eternity of waiting for things to move forward our musical tastes changed, and most importantly our religious views changed, mine especially. After Josh and David decided to leave our band we decided as a band to take a more secular route although I had already written a religious record. We planned on using conviction as a transition record to play music that was more fun to perform. It goes without saying, that the backlash we received was less than amusing however we decided to suck it up and continue on with our new label.
"Over the course of the tours that followed it seemed like we had a new lineup every time we hit the road. After a while the band became more of a chore than a job or anything that was fun really. No one warned us for the ridiculous amount of baggage that came with being a full time touring band. Every tour we went on we ran into some kind issue and someone quit and we ran through a new member every few months. Ultimately it just didn't feel right anymore. We were trying our best to keep things together all the while paying for most of our band expenses out of pocket.
"Bottom line the band died long before our last few tours. We were essentially a completely different band under the same name. It was obviously time to move on.
"I want to take this time to thank all of our fans for everything you've done for us. I can speak for all members that were ever in this band that we had an incredible time performing and travelling the country. I would not trade this experience for any amount of money or fame. I learned so many valuable lessons about being a musician, a professional, and a friend through this band and i owe it all to the fans and bands and bandmates and friends I've made over the years. Crimson definitely broke down my ego, forced me to grow up and opened my eyes to the real world. Thank you so much for this experience. More...

Regardless, he is still our friend, in fact, one of our best! so we thank him for his time with TCA and wish him luck in all of his future endeavors!
"With that being said, we would like to welcome Kevin Lankford to the family. Kevin brings a whole new level of encouragement, strength and motivation to the band. We are finally ready to unleash the real TCA into the world as we head out on tour this fall, which will be announced TOMORROW!!

We write what we wanna write, play what we wanna play, do what we wanna do and encourage you to do the same. we are sorry if you've felt deceived but people created their own ideas of who we are and then others forged it into false facts. we are just a band of dudes that want to have fun doing what we love to do. nothing more nothing less. hope this clears things up."

The Crimson Armada Announces Replacements
The Crimson Armada has posted the following update online, announcing the replacements for its recently departed Drummer and Guitarist.
"Hey guys. Just wanted to fill in everyone with the obvious lineup change and clear up any confusion regarding new members. We have recruited Brandon McMaster (formerly of Sleeping with Sirens) on guitar and Jordan Matz (formerly of Like Moths to Flames) on drums. Josh and David left the band earlier this year on mutual terms and with zero hard feelings.
"Both of them decided that a career in full time touring was not for them and are pursuing other non-musical endeavors. Again, this is NO bad blood between us (some of us actually all still live together off tour). We are really excited to have Brandon and Jordan and to continue on the new direction for TCA.
"This change in lineup does not affect our style or ANY of our material at all. David and Josh’s decision to leave the band was thought out as far back as early fall 2010 before the Miss May I tour. We wish them the best and are stoked to move on with the new and improved Crimson lineup."
