Atlas Losing Grip Part Company With Vocalist

Swedish punks Atlas Losing Grip have announced the departure of vocalist Rodrigo Alfaro. The former Satanic Surfers man had been part of the band since 2009 and has already been replaced by Niklas Olsson.  Check below for the full statement on Rodrigo’s departure:

“Rodrigo is no longer a part of ALG since a couple of weeks back.
We decided to part ways after long discussions back and forth about touring schedules, commitment and the fact that we see the band differently and live different lives, which determines how much one can be on tour or not.

It has been a great couple of years with Rodrigo in the band, the best years for the band so far, and we thank him for his contributions, dedication and talent. But there is no stopping us, so we look to the horizon for future adventures, and don’t be afraid, the magic and unstoppable machinery that is ALG will continue – not only like before, but in a higher gear with the release of Currents our biggest and most majestic album to date.”

The band’s new album Currents is due for release on January 16th and will feature vocals from their new frontman.
