Gutslit part ways with long time guitarist

Bombay based Slam Grinders have parted ways with founder – guitarist Dynell Bangera. Said the band in their official statement: “Our Guitarist and brother, Dynell has decided to leave the band. His work schedule and personal commitments are making it difficult for him to continue with Gutslit. We wish him luck and the search for a guitarist who can fill his place has begun. Anybody who thinks he/she can kill it as good as the gutgrinder himself, can contact anyone of us in the band and come down for a jam.” Gutslit, who have gone through numerous changes for drummer and vocalist over the years have always found better replacements, and this leaves bassist Gurdip Singh as the only member from the first line up. We wish this brilliant band all the best in finding a replacement and hope to see them bounce back with more shows and releases.
