Earlier today, the band posted that Rob and Mark quit the band, in order to pursue other endeavors. The departure seems amicable, and the band has promised to carry on recording, performing, and touring.
The band said:
We wanted to let you know that Rob and Mark have chosen to leave MAE and pursue other endeavors. It has been an honor creating music together and we want to wish them the very best in everything they put their hands to. It has been a great 5 years growing together in this band, but sometimes people need change. Dave, Jacob and Zach will continue to create new music, work this record, and continue on this journey as MAE. We will see you on tour with our friends Motion City Soundtrack and Anberlin this fall. Thanks for your support, MAE (Dave, Jacob, & Zach)
