Moving Mountains are set to head out on their biggest tour yet with Thrice, La Dispute, and O’Brother, but the band has now announced that guitarist Frank Graniero has left the band in order to finish school and work on his project Caravela. It is not clear whether or not Graniero will return to the band after school or not. Check out a full statement from Moving Mountains below by clicking “Read More”.

“We wanted to loop everyone in on some recent MovMou news and goings on. We’re all resting at our respective homes across New York and getting used to post-Warped life, but we’ll be regrouping this week to begin rehearsing for our fall tour with Thrice, La Dispute and o’brother. This is a tour we’re insanely excited to be a part of! We can’t wait to get back to some of the places we missed on our spring tour with Biffy Clyro. Once we get our practice space set up, we’ll probably begin broadcasting our rehearsals via Ustream like we used too. Unfortunately, our long-time guitarist Frank Graniero will not be touring with us for the remainder of the year. He’ll be returning to school this fall as a full time student and focusing on his project Caravela. We wish him the best of luck and encourage all of you to support Caravela by spreading the word and attending any shows near you.
