by | Sep 3, 2014

They may be out two members but they sure did get some good fill-ins!  Chiodos members Derrick Frost and Matt Goddard parted ways with the group, just a couple days before going out on tour with A Day To Remember and Bring Me The Horizon.

Having quit the band due to personal reasons, Chiodos have enlisted drummer Thomas Pridgen (ex-The Mars Volta, Trash Talk) and bassist Joe Troy (RX Bandits).

The band will be out supporting their latest album DEVIL on the upcoming Parks & Devastation tour, which kicks off on Thursday.
