Guitarist Dorian Cooke shares statement on departure: “Hello everyone, I wanted to address the recent news personally and say first and foremost: I am incredibly thankful and appreciative for all of the responses received for the newly released Broadside songs. Ollie and I, along with our friends Pete Adams and Courtney Ballard, worked tirelessly on both “King Of Nothing” and “Empty.” All of us involved love the positive responses to the singles even in light of the recent news. Following the announcement, I wanted to clarify that I wish each person in the band the best and most hopeful of endeavors in their ensuing careers. They gave me life-long, lasting friendships and so many visceral memories. I did not make this decision lightly and, though I will miss it, the time has come for me to step back and focus on other projects. To every person who has shown support for not only Broadside but me as well, I can’t thank you all enough. The encouragement I’ve received from all of you has been overwhelming and I sincerely appreciate all the love you have given me over the years and especially over the last few days.  I’m excited to pursue this full time, and I can’t wait for you all to see what’s next. We’ll see you soon. Dorian Cooke”
