While we are happy to see him make a choice that will ultimately be best for him, of course, we are sad to see him go. Please know that we remain close friends and supporters of Adam, and that there are no hard feelings. Rest assured this will not affect our current tour schedule.

After much thought and consideration we (Matt Good, Nick Martin and Aaron Stern) have decided to announce that we will be moving on from D.R.U.G.S. This decision has not been easy to make, and we want to express how grateful we are for all of you who have supported us and made this the incredible experience it has been over the past couple of years. We'll always look back on our time in this band with pride, and have no regrets about the music we've made or the people we've made it with. We want to thank everyone who has believed in us, and we hope you'll keep believing in us. We look forward to the future, and we know we'll be seeing you again soon, no matter where our paths lead next.

With love and gratitude,

Matt, Nick and Aaron."
