Le guitariste/chanteur Finn Ryan a annoncé son départ de The Atomic Bitchwax. Il faisait partie du groupe depuis 2005 et n'avait pas participé à la tournée européenne du groupe l'été dernier. Il avait alors été remplacé par Garrett Sweeney (Monster Magnet).
Finn Ryan a publié le message suivant pour expliquer son départ :
''After the last tour we did in the States, I decided to enter rehab for my addiction issues. For a long time, I have struggled with anxiety and depression which led to unhealthy coping methods. My situation became so critical that I had to enter treatment and unfortunately miss a European tour.
While in treatment, I came to understand my health is the most important thing in my life, and, consequently, I have decided to take a step back and stop performing with The Atomic Bitchwax.
I’ve had an amazing last 13 years with Bob and Chris — two incredibly talented musicians and really great people. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting tons of awesome fans, and fellow musicians who have kindly reached out to me to show their support.
With this new outlook on life, I plan on moving forward with my music, and am currently working on some new projects and always have room to consider working with other touring musicians.''
