December 9, 2005-INDEX CASE part ways with drummer &
announce temporary replacement:
"After seven years as a founding member of the band, Jordan Spence has been asked to leave Index Case. Being in a band on the road can truly test the limits of people's relationships.
We love Jordan like a brother, but there came a point where we had to set our friendship aside and look at what was going to be best for our band. Our personal relationships had been
pushed to their limits, which unfortunately became evident both on and off the stage. This is not the result of one isolated incident, but rather many throughout the band's seven years.
After much deliberation and consideration, it was decided that in order for the band to achieve what it has set out to achieve in the long run, it had become necessary to ask Jordan to leave."
"The band will continue without Jordan, working harder than it ever has before. We realize, as many of you do as well, that Jordan's shoes are big ones to fill, he is an incredible drummer
and it will not be easy to find a suitable replacement. With that said, we've turned to a great friend, who is also one of the best drummers that we know, to immediately bring resolve to
this situation."
"Ryan Berrier of Destrophy, who as many of you know is an amazing drummer who brings an incredible work ethic and live show to the table, has graciously offered his services on drums for all
of Index Case's touring plans until we acquire a permanent replacement. Having said that, we still plan on playing the last three dates of the American Head Charge tour in the Midwest on
December 8-10. There will also be some select Midwest dates announced soon, and watch for big touring plans beginning in the New Year."
"Index Case would like to thank our families, friends, and fans for sticking with us and giving us their support through this difficult period. We wish Jordan the best in all his future
endeavors, and he will be greatly missed. We are confident that this decision was ultimately made for the best and that the band will be unstoppable as we head into the years to come."

we look forward to joining our good friends in American Headcharge to play the remaining three dates of the tour on December 8th, 9th & 10th.
We'll also be announcing a Midwest mini headlining tour just around the corner, in which we'll be re-visiting some of the cities where shows were cancelled.
