Reet then, I know Tona was banging on about "no explanations or nowt", but seeing as it's regarding me, I feel I have a right to explain.
According to stuff written on this and other sites, me and the lads have agreed that I should leave. Bollocks. At no point did WE discuss or agree anything. The rest of the lads discussed things, then TOLD me I WAS being replaced. Best of all I was told this by a fucking text message from Hally (yes Tona, I know you didn't want him to send it).
According to the lads I had "lost interest". Bollocks. I happened to miss two practices cos I was at work, and I had my final assignments to hand in at the end of the week. All of the rest of the lads haven't been able to practice for much less valid reasons plenty of times in the past.
They reckoned, cos I got me job I wouldn't be able to practice or gig any more. Bollocks. I'll be working 4 days a week. Exactly the same number as Tona and Hally work, Garth works 5. They reckoned I'd never know when I was working. Bollocks. I find out all my shifts for a whole month. Tona doesn't even know what he's working two days before the week starts. Granted, the lads didn't know all this, but they didn't even bother to fucking ask me.
What it all comes down to, though is that I wasn't a good enough singer. I never kidded meself into thinking that I was a particuarly great singer, I know that when I was having a bad gig, I could be awful. But I did work at trying to improve it, and Hally, amongst others, told me that it was much better towards the end of my time with the band. So why did they say that, if it's not what they thought. I'm fucked if I know. I would've rather they were just straight with me from the start.
From what I've just written I probably sound extremely bitter and angry. WELL I FUCKING AM. But, I suppose I'll get over it, I'll just have to. And I suppose some of what they said may have been true. I'm just gutted to be leaving the band. I can honestly say some of the times I've spent with Spiral Bound have been some of the best of my life. And despite everything I've said, I'd like to hope that me and the rest of the lads can stay mates, and that they do well in wherever they go from here.
As for me, I'd love to stay involved in music somehow. The local scene, seems to be kicking off big style, and I'd love remain a part of it somehow. But not as a singer. I'm no mug. So I reckon I'm gonna pick up me guitar a bit more often, cos I really let that slip when I was in SB, practice, try and knock up a few more tunes, and if anyones looking for a half decent rhythm guitarist, giz a shout.
Cheers.
