Fuming Mouth has split with longtime guitarist Andrew Budwey, who's been in the band since 2016. According to a statement from Fuming Mouth, now is "not the right time for him to be in the band" and they'll be continuing on as a three-piece live.
"The slightly complicated band history of Fuming Mouth goes back to 2013 when three guys, Mark Whelan, Rob Pironti, and Ethan Hall joined together as Fuming Mouth. Within three years the band had released two demos, a split, and a single called 'Sword and Scale'. The three toured out to the west coast and played locally as well.
"Creative differences saw Mark and Rob on a different page with Ethan caught in the middle. The three split apart and Fuming Mouth continued with Mark Whelan.
"Soon there were many fills in but only one official member, Andrew Budwey. Andrew would be a part of the band from the first album up until now. Sadly, now is not the right time for him to be in the band. We love him and wish him the best with everything.
"Fuming Mouth is continuing as a 3 piece again. Pat Merson will be playing bass and Keith Goldoni will be playing drums. We play Chapel Hill, North Carolina tonight and then head to Welcome to Rockville, followed by Sonic Temple Festival. See you on the road."
