We all thought we could ride out this storm but sometimes all things has to come to an end. We part ways on friendly terms and don\u2019t want any bad blood run under the bridge. We\u2019ve written and re-written this countless times and there\u2019s just not a good way to put it\u2026 Jesper is no longer going to be in the band with us. To be honest, this has been really painful. After taking time to consider how to move forward, we ultimately found that we really do believe The Resistance can and should continue on. And so we will.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really thankful for the people who have helped see us through hard times before and what we\u2019ve discovered is that those people are just as much a part of this as we will ever be. We\u2019re hopeful for The Resistance\u2019s future and we\u2019re also excited for what Jesper\u2019s going to do next. Thank you all for your support and your belief in us. It\u2019s kept us going.
