Alesana have parted ways with their drummer Jeremy Bryan in the wake of disturbing allegations. Per TikTok, the allegations in question are grooming and sexually assaulting a minor while she was 15 & 16 years of age. A statement issued by the post-hardcore band yesterday, November 02nd reads:
“In light of allegations that have been brought to our attention, we are parting ways with our drummer, Jeremy Bryan. Alesana does not condone the actions alleged nor will we condone any retaliation from our fan base towards the person involved.
We have always tried to foster a safe and positive environment for fans at our concerts and apologize that it wasn’t the case in this situation.
Our hearts go out to any victims of this type of offense. We’re so sorry this happened and that you’ve had to carry this with you.
–Dennis, Jake, Pat, Shane, & Shawn“
Bryan, who had been a member of the band since 2006, does not appear to have addressed the matter, with his Instagram currently having been pulled.
