IREPRESS New Guitarist

Hailing from Massachusetts, U.S.A five-piece IREPRESS have announced the departure of guitarist Bret, who will no longer be playing with the band due to school commitments. Bret will be replaced by Benji Gram [formerly of the outfit known as Eroica].

In a message posted on the band's MySpace, Irepress reassured fans that Bret is still an integral part of Irepress, as well as its writing process.

IREPRESS commented;

"Man, two months go by rather quickly while the world around you seems to not be doing much. Shan is less than a week away from returning to the states after his tour with our good friends from Junius. He has many stories and adventures to be heard while spreading the disease that is Irepress. The people around Europe/UK seem to be hungry and awaiting Irepress' arrival, and we want to express that we will be there soon!!!

"To make you all happy we have posted another song off our latest jump off, Sol Eye Sea I, titled "Billy". This track is held close to all our hearts since we wrote it for our late brother Billy Rehrey. We will forever remember him and always love him. R.I.P Snuggles!!

"In other news, Sheel has been busy with his other band, Bad Rabbits, who just released their EP Stick Up Kids on Dec 1st. Check that sht out. www.badrabbits.com.The others have been writing material to be exposed to the Dave' brothers upon returning to the mothership where the music is created.

"Now for some other news. We are sad to say that our robotic guitarist Bret will no longer be playing with us for the time being due to going back to school. We want to assure you all that he will still be very much a part of Irepress and its writing process. We all wish him luck and hope he gets those good grades, otherwise he's GROUNDED!!! With that being said...

"Everyone, we would like to introduce you all to our new guitarist, Benji Gram (formerly of the outfit known as Eroica). Many of you who have been keeping up with our tour blogs should know that Ben has been Irepress' right-hand man for the past year with being our tech on the road. We know him as the boy genius and figure he was raised by wolves. We have already started writing new material with Ben that we're scheming up for the new year ahead to start noddin' heads and melting faces."
