Escuela Grind<\/a><\/strong> had a hell of a weekend and it doesn’t seem like it’s over yet.<\/p>\n It all started when guitarist Tom Sifuentes<\/strong> said he was being replaced after voicing concerns over his hearing<\/a>, and got worse when the band was accused by a former driver<\/a> of everything from sexual assault by a tour manager and overall mistreatment. Escuela Grind<\/a><\/strong> guitarist Krissy Morash<\/strong> responded to the accusations, denying the assault allegations and accusing the driver of not being able to do their job properly.<\/p>\n Now Escuela Grind<\/a><\/strong> has issued a statement as a band that\u2026 doesn’t really say very much. Escuela Grind<\/a><\/strong> thanks Sifuentes<\/strong> for his two years in the band, notes that they’re about to his the road with a “new touring team,” and that’s about it. Comments for the post have been turned off on Escuela Grind<\/a><\/strong>‘s Instagram.<\/p>\n “Thank you to everyone who came out to the past six weeks of shows. This was our best run ever as a band,” wrote Escuela Grind<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n “We want to take this opportunity to thank Tom<\/strong> for his two years of service in the band. He always loved our fans and was such a force, it will be difficult to replace him.<\/p>\n “We are excited to head back out on the road in 10 days with the homies in Capra<\/a><\/strong> and new touring team. We\u2019re working to grow and improve, both as musicians and a touring unit, and will continue to lift people up, and be advocates for the girls, the gays, the theys, and the lifers.<\/p>\n “Remember, the only way we grow is by hanging out and talking to each other. We\u2019re looking forward to seeing you all again.”<\/p>\n
