These Arms Are Snakes Lose Drummer

These Arms Are Snakes have officially announced that drummer Ben Verellen will be leaving the band and will be replaced by Chris Common. Here's a statement from the band:

"We are unfortunately losing our great friend, Ben, as our drummer. He will be sorely missed for we had many great times in the past year or so. It seems like only yesterday that he started rocking those 26" drums on our asses. John Bonham would be proud to call him a son. A bastard son maybe but still a son! So for all of you who loved seeing Ben rock the shit out of those drums, come and say goodbye to him with us this weekend at the Block Party. As mentioned before we play on Sunday on the mainstage. Ben, you are a true friend and are considered a brother.You will be missed."

Verellen will make his final appearance with the band on Sunday (7/31) at The Capitol Hill Block Party in Seattle, WA.
