Connecticut metalcore outfit Balmora have revealed that guitar player Jay Torblaa is stepping away from the band indefinitely following grooming allegations, which emerged over the weekend (see below)
Balmora issued the following statement today:
“In the past few days we’ve seen the evidence and screen shots of the behavior of our guitarist engaging with someone underage. We the other four members Danny, Paul, Colin and Chaz don’t fuck with this at all obviously. Jay will be stepping away from the band and our summer tour will continue on as planned.
“We’re sorry for what seems like the lack of transparency. Just trying to figure out how to navigate this and continue with all the shows we have booked and planned to play. All of our love goes out to the promoters, our tour mates and everyone who fucks with us on some real shit.”
Jay, guitarist of Balmora, called out for being a Predator
