Brent Harris, skinsman for raucous New Zealand outfit Cut Off Your Hands, is standing down due to “a serious medical impediment”. Harris has released a statement in the midst of the band’s SXSW tour-of-duty. He explains that a worsening case of hearing loss has forced him to surrender his spot behind the kit.
“Sadly, the only way to know if drumming is inducing or aggravating the [hearing] loss is to plainly stop playing loud music for 12 months – which in turn has made me decide to step down from Cut Off Your Hands for the next year,” Harris writes. “It is uncertain what the future will bring for me and Cut Off. I hope with all my heart that I can return to playing with the band but only time can let that be known.”
