Chiodos Loses Two Members : Derrick Frost (Drums) and
Matt Goddard (Bass) have decided to leave Chiodos. The news doesn't come as much as a shock as the band unexpectedly dropped off the last few dates of their Summer Tour with
blessthefall. The members will be replaced with
Thomas Pridgen (The Mars Volta, Suicidal Tendencies, Trash Talk and The Memorials) on Drums and
Joe Troy (RX Bandits) on Bass for their upcoming Fall Tour with

Bring Me The Horizon. You can read a message about their departure from the band below. So, Derrick and Matt : Just stop, drop everything, forget each other's names, and just walk away.
Derrick Frost and Matt Goddard have both chosen to discontinue touring and recording but instead spend more time with their loved ones and pursue other interests at home. It's been a long and great journey with both of these gentleman, Matt dating back to the very beginning, and Derrick a part of three albums with us. We wish them the best in all that they choose to do moving forward. They've been long time brothers to us and always will be. Our good friends Thomas Pridgen and Joe Troy are coming to rock with us. We have been rehearsing like crazy in Michigan, so get ready for a great show. We're very excited to have them join us on this journey as we've always been fans of their musicianship. We can't wait for you all to experience this with us as we continue to tour and write new material. See you at a city near you soon!
