It is with my deepest regrets and immense sadness that I report to the blogosphere the official dissipation of one of the brightest and most promising new metal bands in the region, Don't Mind Dyin'.

The band, whose string of dates in 2008/2009 solidified a space in the 519's ever growing stable of competent to excellent bands who like it loud and local, is calling it quits after founding drummer Dylan Dawson has decided to leave the band.

Their final show in Guelph is Saturday, March, 6th at Jimmy Jazz, with Time the Destroyer, and it's sure to be a barn burner.

Not only is TTD singer Nik Wever Dawson's former band mate in the Bedroom Etiquette, but TTD growler Mike Falcioni has been a close co-worker of Dawson's since 2006, and TTD drummer Derek Prince-Cox was also bandmates with founding Don't Mind guitarist Greg Richmond in the quintessentially Guelph hardcore bands Pure Blank and Arise and Ruin.
