East Coast sunshine rockers The Drums have roped in a certain Tom Haslow as replacement guitarist for the remainder of their US tour.
The Drums, who reportedly were 'devastated' following the departure of guitarist Adam Kessler, quickly gained notoriety with the release of their acclaimed and highly anticipated eponymous debut album earlier this year.
Their rapid rise to fame and a hectic touring schedule, which has seen the New York band performing high-profile sets at the Reading & Leeds festivals, as well as supporting Kings Of Leon at their Hyde Park gig, are rumored to be factors in Kessler's departure.
According to NME, The Drums' frontman Jonathan Pierce stated that Haslow is "a kid from New York who I've known for a few years", but that he is not necessarily a permanent member of the band.
However, all of The Drums forthcoming tour dates are still going ahead as planned, including their UK tour - kicking off at London Kentish Town Forum on November 24.
