Ire Clad Parts Ways With Bassist Eric Rodgriguez

Ire Clad just issued the following announcement online about parting ways with founding bass player Eric Rodgriguez:

"Well, we announced it yesterday at the show but Eric will be leaving the band soon. No hard feelings and we wish him the very best!

"Eric is a founding member of Ire Clad and helped build the band into the beast that it is today. He'll still be playing a couple more shows with us so be sure to catch them. Stay tuned for his future blackened death pop group!

"We're excited to say that Jason Kimbell will be stepping in to play bass with us. He's been working hard to learn the songs and will be up to speed soon were sure of it! Welcome aboard Jason!"

Newly recruited member Jason Kimbell also adds: "I am BEYOND stoked and honored to become a part of the juggernaut that is Ire Clad!! Eric has set the bar high, and I know I have some big shoes to fill. Eric's beastly vocal prowess and playing skills are irrefutable. That being said, I am working diligently to get up to speed and I can't wait to get out there and rock with all of you! Thank you to Ire Clad for allowing me this huge opportunity!!"
