The Story So Far - Proper Dose (September 21st, 2018) Album • Page 44

It really is when you know how good of a drummer he is and how there’s like two songs in the set needing keys

 

That’s so random… but sure!

 

The new drummer isn’t Harry Corrigan is it??? lol

 

The replacement drummer is Mike Ambrose from Set Your Goals.

 

oh damn. Mike is an awesome drummer.

bring back SYG

 

That's cool, nice to see Mike back drumming.

 

But why? Seems like such an odd choice

 

No shit?? That’s wild!

 

Weird. Wonder if he can't be on tour full time anymore?

 

Had the chance to sit down with Mike a looong time ago (like 2014) when he was supporting What's eating Gilbert on a tour with Yellowcard.

From what I remember, he's always had a close connection with TSSF. Told me when TSSF was starting out as a local band, they didn't know how to write a chorus that wasn't in 3/4. lol

 

Wasn't his brother also in TSSF for a few years when they started?

 

I mean TSSF and SYG are from pretty much the same hometown which is my hometown lol.

Everyone in that scene knew each other like This Time Next Year so this isn’t surprising but I just didn’t know he joined. Good stuff though!

 

Yup

 

If Torf's switched from drums I'd imagine that's his choice. Per interviews it seemed like he took on more songwriting duties with Proper Dose. I know he wrote Upside Down.

 

Saw on a Reddit thread its probably due to a hip surgery Torf had a few years ago.

 

Torf has like severe nerve damage in his back I was told. He's helping track the new record but its apparently very hard for him to drum now :(((

sucks that now two guys in TSSF can't really move...

 

who's the other one

 

parker...

 

Is that by choice? I thought it was him just tryna to be a doofus

 

The way I understood it was Parker did so much damage to his body that to be able to still sing he has to do the Liam Gallagher thing as he'll run out of breath super quickly if he had the on stage energy he used to

 

That and the sunken chest condition is why they've looked "boring" since 2017

 

FWIW he seemed to be moving around a little more at their Sad Summer show the other day.

 

Parker’s dad passed away today. Terribly sad. Condolences to him and his family.

 

My heart goes out to him. Losing a parent is devastating.

 

oh i didn't know that he CAN'T move, just thought he didn't want to
