One of the hottest indie bands of 2010, The Drums, have lost a guitarist in the middle of their North American tour.

The band used their website to announce that they were "devestated" by Adam Kessler's decision to quit the band stating, "there have been some questions as to recent events and we are sorry to say that Adam has left The Drums."

There is no official word as to who will replace Kessler, who was not one of the band's founding members.
