There’s so many things you could be doing to throw off a band that already had its groove. You might be a good player but I’ve rejected great guitarist just because they were too bluesy when I wanted more punk for example.

Or despite being shit hot they overplay all the time. Always too loud. It’s amazing how many musicians are too dense to grasp this concept. Just because you have skllls doesn’t mean we need to notice them all the time.

Considering how nice the text was it sounds like they’re good dudes who probably really wrestled over the decision. Albeit over text is shitty.

My friend was a drummer and his band all lived and practiced in a house and he woke up one morning and they were all fonenand took their gear. No explanation — after SEVEN YEARS.

4 months is still a dating period, and you’re still really young so get back out there. Meet some new people and pay close attention to your own behaviour. Are you pulling your weight? On time? Always broke ? Serving the song? Etc.

Good luck
