FEVER 333’s Aric Improta and Stephen Harrison have left the band

FEVER 333 drummer Aric Improta and guitarist Stephen Harrison have quit the band.

The pair have posted separate statements on Instagram, with Aric noting that the decision was "layered" but "ultimately, I’d just rather dedicate my time to projects that operate different than that one."

His post continues, "Massive thank you to all of our fans, our friends and the amazing people who helped us along the way (you know who you are). We got to play some unforgettable shows, travel a ton and meet some incredible individuals. Steve and I will probably do something together in the future."

In a separate Instagram post, shared around the same time, Stephen said that he wouldn't go into details "but things were pretty bad internally. That plus creative differences sort of left me with no choice."

He added, "That said, I’m so thankful for all the amazing fans, people who helped Fever behind the scenes, and my friends and family who supported me through all of this. Your support means so much! I still plan to make music. Aric and I will probably do something together in the future. Love you guys!! Know your worth!!"

There has so far been no public statement from vocalist Jason Aalon Butler.

The band recently announced an extensive tour of the UK and Europe, kicking off on January 23 in Germany. Speaking at the time, Jason said, “We will be ushering in a new era of FEVER 333 on all fronts and I can’t wait introduce it in the territories that have held us down like none other. EU/UK we gon let them know – there’s another fever coming…”
