Rise To Remain have announced that they have parted company with their bass player Joe Copcutt and drummer Pat Lundy on the eve of their first American tour.

As a result they will no longer be able to take part in the shows as planned supporting Machine Head. The band apologise to all their US fans but would like to assure them that they will be playing shows there very soon.

New members will be announced in due course. In the meantime Rise To Remain would like to thank Joe and Pat for their contribution to the band’s success and wish them well with all their plans for the future.
