it feels completely insane to write that after 5 years of blood, sweat, tears, and some of the best times of our lives... the Castledoor chapter as we know it is coming to a close.
i always thought we would be the band that would survive anything.
most of us were actually feeling optimistic about things lately.
we recently finished recording some our most exciting songs with plans for a photo shoot, video shoot and press.
the slow progression of our band as a career only made us want to work harder.
regardless of the frustrations we had we always valued the fundamental joy of playing music with each other.
sadly, Gabe announced to us this week that he was ready to move on from Castledoor.
we're really bummed but we wish Gabe and Coury all the happiness in the world.
soon we hope to make the recent recordings (Flashlight EP) available on all digital music stores, including iTunes.
we're sincerely grateful to all of you who have shown your support.
from the bottom of our hearts: THANK YOU!
Joel, Brando, Liska & I plan to continue making music together.
although we're filled with all sorts of emotions, there is an overwhelming sense that the best is yet to come.
love, nate and all of castledoor

Cheer up! I'm sure you guys will continue to make beautiful music as you always do and I wish them the best! They are writing their story as you have written yours. THATS GREAT!
ReplyDeleteContinue on the path where the wind blows you... <3
Since many of us loyal castledoor fans never got to see you play live (due to being on the east coast), is there any chance you could make a full version of your last show available on YouTube or some other site (vimeo, perhaps)? That would be wonderful!! Thanks for the fantastic and incredibly inspiring music. Don't give up the ship!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been listening to you for about a year, and am terribly sad the day I check out your blog is just five days after this sad decision has been made. It would've been so amazing if you guys had scored an Olympic spot here in Vancouver, BC ... but hopefully the best is yet to come.
ReplyDeleteI've been following your music for the past 4 years and this makes me really sad, but I know you guys are going onto great heights and it's just a matter of time before you are one of the most popular groups in America. I tell all of my friends about your music and I've gotten them hooked too, so keep up the good work and keep playing!

I love Castledoor. Please continue to make music, and share it with all of us. I am looking forward to see what you (Nate) will create. I have ALWAYS loved your music and always will.
ReplyDeleteJust create whatever you have in your heart, and believe me that people will love it!

ReplyDeleteIt's a mystery to my why ya'll haven't exploded by now.
thanks for putting out the amazing music that you did. You've been in my personal mix for years and I never get sick of it.
good luck and love to you all
hello,
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying your music for about two and a half years. your music has brought me joy and happiness in hard times and your music has gotten me threw school. Im in 7th grade and im going to be going into 8th next year and i have showed your music to many of my friends that have loved your music like me. for me 2020 has been hard because of online school and not being able to see my family and friends but your music has helped me get threw it even if your music is almost as old as me. any way thank you for every thing you have done and your music, even if nobody sees this and if you don't see this thank you
