More on the departure of the Gloom Brothers (Crispin Parry & Danny Ford) as editors of Future Publishing's popular new music magazine Bang! As reported on Friday Parry and Ford have left the title to make way for ex-Kerrang! man Dan Silver – the official line is that the 'Brothers' were hired as launch editors and always expected to hand over the reigns a few issues in.
A spokesman for Future told CMU: "There's not that much to say about Dan and Crispin moving on having completed the launch of Bang. Crispin and Dan have both put their heart and soul into the project of getting Bang off the ground and the team are now building on this foundation. I wish both the guys all the best for the future."
Whether or not rumours of Parry & Ford's departure causing upset at the magazine are true remains to be seen. Meantime you can read an interview with the Gloom Brothers about their ambitions for Bang shortly before their departure in this week's CMU Weekly.
