Pontus leaves Dead by April
Pontus has after some time off from the band decided to leave
Dead by April
permanently. He feels that he wants to focus on his work as a
songwriter,
wich is where much of his heart has been since day one.
It is of course sad for the band, the fans and everyone involved to
see an
important member leave but if that is his wish we accept and
respect his
decision. We owe it to everyone involved to continue what has only
been
started...
Pontus has been with us from the start and will in some senses of
course
always be a part of Dead by April as he will continue to write
songs with
us. So don't be to alarmed, nothing is different in the
songwriting
department!
Pontus says:
"The time has come for me to step aside from Dead by April. These
years has
been filled with new experiences, memorable moments and I have
truly learned
alot. I will be forever grateful for getting the opportunity to
have lived
out the dream I had since I was a little boy and experienced
something I'd
never thought I would experience.
I also deeply hope that Zandro gets the same magical and warm
reception that
I have gotten around everything with this band. My focus is now on
my job as
a full time songwriter, I will continue to write for the band and
of course
also for other artists and bands.
Thank you all!
Love Pontus"
There are however some differences in the singing and guitar
departments, or
to be very specific:
We have a new vocalist.
We decided that we didn't really need two guitars for the sound and
felt
that we just wanted to focus on finding a great singer and a
great
personality who was willing to give this his everything and
together take
this band to new heights.
That guy is that very same some of you might have seen filling in
for Pontus
before: Zandro Zantiago
Zandro stepped in to fill Pontus place on short notices and has
always done
a great job and with time he has accelerated into a great fit for
us. He
became a member in our hearts before even really joining and
tomorrow in
Gothenburg he can finally do his first gig as an official member of
Dead By
April!
We hope all of you give him a great welcome to this band and stand
behind
him fully as we all do.
Zandro says:
"To get this chance is not only very flattering, it is also a big
challenge
that I take on with all my heart!
Now being a part of the band is a great honour, that we work great
together
and have alot of fun just makes it even more definite. This is
where I
belong.
Indeed it is a big pair of shoes to fill up after Pontus as a
singer and as
a person but I can assure the fans that I will give you my all and
strive to
be the very best I can be, with Dead by April!"
A picture of the new lineup can be viewed at:
/files/DeadByApril_2010.jpg
There`s more pictures at our Facebook and Myspace page also.
We hope and wish that this year will be an even greater year for
Dead by
April!
Love
/ Johan, Jimmie, Alex, Marcus and Zandro

Hoppas att det bir bra utan Pontus, men synd att jag aldrig han se er innan han slutade
24 April 16:07 | 'kiwi:
Men snälla, skräm mig inte nästa gång när ni kommer med ett sånt besked! När jag läste "Pontus leaves Dead by April" jag fick fan nästan en hjärtatack, eftersom han skriver alla era låtar trodde jag att ni skulle sluta! Men som tur var det inte så då, men hoppas den där Zandro är minst lika bra som Pontus, annars kommer det kännas konstigt att lyssna på er<3

Jag såg er på liseberg idag och jag hade sett fram emot att se er alla på scen och så kommer den där Zandro istället för Pontan! Det känns konstigt nu utan honom, men jag hoppas att Zandro gör ett lika bra jobb som Pontan gjorde.
