AVA lose bassist

Angels And Airwaves bassist Ryan Sinn has left the band. Sinn, who joined the band for their 2006 release 'We Don't Need To Whisper', has confirmed rumours of his departure in a post on the band's official fansite, www.thearmyofangels.com.

"I received a phone call the evening of April 19 that concluded my relationship with Angels And Airwaves," says Sinn. "I could go into an entire novel about my opinions of the whole matter and why I was given the axe, but to me, throwing dirt just seems desperate. All I'll say as to why I was kicked out, the reasons I was given weren't at all honest, and severely hypocritical to the point of abhorrent disgust."

The bassist hints at the possibility that he'll be releasing some new material in the near future.

"What matters to me now is freedom," he says. "Freedom to express myself and the freedom to be exactly who I am. Music to me has always been a very dear thing. An outlet of creation, frustration, desire, love, pain, and expression of all kinds. It's something that I feel you should do your best at. See you again somewhere, sometime."

At the time of going to press, there was no word on who will replace Sinn in the band's line-up.

Angels And Airwaves will play the London Astoria on August 24.

He is an amazing bassist, for the distillers he came up with some killer bass riffs and they were such an awesome band one of the best and one of my favourites of all time. Dont mind angels and airwaves, just seem a bit delonge dominated to me which is asking for trouble coz despite how talented he is he is also a grade A dick

kinda sounds like what mark and travis said in an interview about blink's breakup... about how tom is a big hypocrite and that we finally get to "see the real tom" when he was bragging about how great his music would be... but in my opinion it is fantastic music, but it's starting to appear that tom has a way of pushing people aside =/ hmm...
