Just read this off their myspace. If you've never heard them they have some good songs.

All,

It is with more sorrow than I have ever known in my 24 years of life that I inform you that Mr. Peter James, drummer and founding member of Bipolar, passed away yesterday morning at 5:45am. At this time the true cause is not known, but it was apparently from some sort of cardiac arrest. The 5 of us we're in Boston finishing up recording our new demo. We all did as much as we could to try and revive Peter, but there was simply nothing we nor doctors could do for him.

We're all still in shock here in Bipolar. Our deepest condolences go out to all of his family, friends, and fans. Peter was loved by so many people and it is a dark day for us all.

There will be a funeral in Saratoga Springs that everyone is welcome to attend. We can't think of a better send off for our friend than to have a memorial service packed with family, friends, and fans who he's touched with his music along our journey.

We will post up information on the service as soon as we have it. Please keep Peter James's family in your prayers as we all try and make it through these sad times.



-Mark, Patrick, Dave, and John

That really really sucks! They have become one of my favorite bands over the past 2 months.

Shitty indeed.

Condolences to rest of the band. =/

Yes it's hard to hear.
