Guitarist quits Reverend And The Makers

Rex Features

Tom Jarvis has split from Sheffield indie band Reverend And The Makers.

The guitarist, who played on the band's debut album The State Of Things and impending follow-up, departed because he'd "had enough", according to frontman Jon McClure.

Jarvis will be replaced by ex-Milburn guitarist Tom Rowley.

"It's a shame because his guitars are mental on the new record," McClure told NME.

"But now Tom Rowley is joining - he is cool, and in lots of ways one of the guys who got the whole Sheffield scene started.

"People have love in their hearts for him up north, and me and him together have something amazing. I want to get on album three straight away as he's a genius."

Reverend And The Makers' second LP A French Kiss In The Chaos will be released in 2009.
