Hacktivist have parted ways with founding guitarist Timfy James.
James will play a final run of dates with the band, including a farewell hometown show on May 19 at Unit Nine in Milton Keynes. He said:
"I'm very sad to say that I have made the decision to leave Hacktivist. I've had an amazing six years touring the world with my brothers and I wish them all the luck moving forward. I also want to thank all of the fans that have supported us this far, without you guys none of this would have been possible. I have every confidence that the band will continue to inspire and push the boundaries of modern music for many more years to come."
A new guitarist will be announced following James' last show at Camden Rocks festival on June 2. Speaking about the band's live commitments this summer, bassist Josh Gurner said:
"We’re sad to see Timfy’s time with Hacktivist has come to an end, but we wish the best of luck with his future plans. We want to thank him profusely for the blood, sweat and tears he has put into the band over the past seven years. Timfy has been a driving force in defining the Hacktivist sound, but his departure brings with it the dawn of new ideas and forward thinking. None of this year’s shows will be cancelled, and you will be hearing from us soon with fresh new music."
The new Hacktivist line up will also feature vocalist Jot Maxi, who joined the band in 2017.
