Mathcore rockers Rolo Tomassi have opened up about their split from bassist Joseph Thorpe and guitarist Joe Nicholson for the first time since the pair made the decision to leave.
The duo left on separate terms, with Nicholson departing to pursue a degree in chemistry and Thorpe citing personal reasons, but the band itself has continued to make music and recruited two new members; Nathan Fairweather and Chris Cayford. But, while it can often take a while for new members to settle into a band, keyboard player James Spence has revealed that the new pair really fit the bill – and insisted that they've 'brought a lot to the table' since they joined.
Spence told NME: “They've been great, they've brought a lot to the table creatively and it's been nice getting into a practice space with different people. Playing live with them has really brought the old stuff to life, too.”
He added that there 'hadn't been too much contact' with their old bandmates Thorpe and Nicholson, but said that that was 'fine' and the pair were 'doing their own thing'.
Spence went on to talk about the band's forthcoming third album, saying: “We've nearly finished writing it. The plan is to go into the studio at the start of June and start recording then. We're 70 per cent of the way there, we've got a few weeks left though, so there's no big rush.
“It's more straight-up, heavy sounding and much more direct. You can get your teeth into it much quicker, people who didn't have patience before with our music before will be into this record. It's still technical, but we're using the mathy bits more sparingly.”
Rolo Tomassi recently toured the UK in support of Architects.
