THE BRONX have announced that drummer Jorma Vik has left the band!

Jorma Vik, founding drummer of LA punk rockers THE BRONX announced in a statement yesterday that he is set to leave the band (as well as its side-project MARIACHI EL BRONX) after 14 years.

Writing on his own Facebook page, the drummer said: “I’m having a very difficult time finding the words to express how grateful I am to everyone who have supported the band(s) over the past 14 years.”

The remaining members of THE BRONX are yet to comment, and no replacement has been suggested so far.
