Why Are All The Bands That I Like Falling Apart?

     Unless you live under a rock or don't follow the "music scene" you won't be surprised by either of these things I'm about to tell you. 
     The first of these two stories comes in the form of Four Year Strong keyboardist and occasional screamer, Josh Lyford, being kicked out of the band last week.  FYS has made a statement in which they gave their reasoning for Lyford not being in the band anymore, citing that they no longer feel that keyboard parts are relevant in the band.
     When I first heard the news I was shocked.  I always felt that the members of FYS were really tight and close-knit and figured they could have made room for some keyboard parts or screaming parts to keep Josh in the band.  But then when I really thought about it, I realized that it was a natural progression for the band.  FYS has been slowly drifting away from the keyboards, turning away from pop-punk and opting out for a more punk-rock sound with every album.  I suppose it was only a matter of time before Lyford was phased out of a job in FYS.  With that being said, I'm still pumped to see FYS at the end of April with Bad Religion and Rise Against and also look forward to their new album and it's keyboard-less sound. 
     In other bad news in the music world, Emarosa announced yesterday that they would be continuing on as a band without front-man, Jonny Craig.  This news comes as a shocker to some, but most knew that it would happen eventually.  Craig has been doing a lot of touring and work with the original line-up of Dance Gavin Dance, and hasn't really had much time to devote to Emarosa as of late. 
   And although Emarosa feels that it is in their best interest to move on without Craig, I feel that this could cause problems for the band in the future.  All the members of Emarosa are very talented but lets face it, Craig is the face of Emarosa.  Regardless of whatever controversy that surrounds him, the guy has a great voice and stage presence.  I really do wish Emarosa the best and hope they can find another great singer to replace Jonny, but I don't think it looks so hot for Emarosa.
     The news of these two bands getting rid of members really saddens me.  They are both great bands that I have seen live and listen to a lot.  I hope the best for the two bands, but this raises a question for me.  Why does it seem like all my favorite bands are beginning to fall apart.  It was only at the end of last year when I wrote that Attack Attack! had lost another member and now there are two more bands I like losing members.  If any of your favorite bands have lost members or broken up, post below.
