According to the article, the other guys wanted them to stay. He just thought that given how outspoken he wanted to be that it would result in blowback on the music, and not be fair to the other guys.

I liked their first two albums, though I haven't heard their most recent.

IIRC, Andy Ngo described himself as a liberal years ago.

Leftists are quite illiberal.

No, I think they dressed him down publicly, and he stepped away from the band for awhile. Perhaps he never came back and just decided to quit. Can’t really be sure. I remember the previous article, but not how long ago it was, and didn’t know their music either. But I liked the song I posted. 8>)

Andy Ngo is “right wing” according to the AP. Is anyone left wing in their eyes?

Maybe Bill Maher. Maybe.

I went to high school with a Chuck Mumford who was an all state football player. I think he later moved on to jail.

I thought it was a TV show from the ‘70s about the owner of a junkyard. ;)

Andy is not right-wing; except to some commie trash who refers to him in that way. He was personally attacked and put in the hospital by Antifa commies. He has every right to condemn them. And, yes, Antifa is nothing but a bunch of commie turds who slink out of their Granny’s basement dressed all in black so they can pretend they are one of the Ninja TWOT’s in their games. Andy is right up there next to Rittenhouse, in my estimation.

Isn’t he the primary talent of M&S?

Love M&S, btw.

I wish him all the best.

-- He plays the guitar as well. --

Yep. Pretty straightforward crossover for fingerpickers.

Was making light of the choice of photos for "guitar player" headline.

I don’t know. I had never actually heard of them before. That being said I do remember the article before this one about him being criticized by his band mates, and him taking a break from the band. But I never bothered to listen to any of their songs. The song I posted was the first one I listened to, and I liked it. 8>)
