Now that all the dust has settled and things have been confirmed, If He Dies He Dies as band (family) would like to settle any and all rumors regarding the departure of guitarist/vocalist Tom Eilers. It was not a planned event by any means and actually came on rather sudden, but ultimately everyone involved was unhappy and Tom and the band parted ways amicably with no hard feelings on either side.
We would like to extend our gratitude to Tom, his family, for the continued, unwavering support, and all of the friends and fans that we have gained through our time with him. Tom definitely helped shape the current sound of IHDHD through genuine emotion and natural talent. We wish him the best of luck in any future endeavors. He will truly be missed.
With that being said, we have no intentions of disbanding, but we definitely need to re-evaluate, re-up, and continue our journey as IHDHD. For the mean time our good friend Addison Eilers (yes Tom’s cousin) of the band Ephus, has stepped in to help us fulfill our live show obligations. We have had some last minute, marathon practice sessions to be prepared for tonight’s show with The Used.
