Drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson announced his departure from TROUBLE last month. He explained in a statement, "My reasons [for leaving] are justified. I felt like I was never taken seriously as a musician with the guys from TROUBLE, but I did the best I could in that 28-year effort with the band. That is all I would like to say for now. However, this is not a retirement from the music industry for I have my band, RETRO GRAVE, with the full-length coming out in a few months with fine players (the EP was a solo effort)."
Kory Clarke joined TROUBLE in late April.
