Blake Hardman, lead guitarist and backing vocalist of Counterparts, has announced his departure from the group.

Hardman, who had been a member of the Hamilton hardcore outfit since 2016, shared the news on Twitter yesterday (July 6), though did not detail specifics of his exit.

"I am no longer a part of [Counterparts]," he wrote. "Thank you to everyone who supported me and the records I was a large part of. The memories and friends I made playing in the band will be cherished forever."

Hardman added that while he is no longer with Counterparts, he has "4 tracks I was gonna use for the newer record that I will probably just track vocals for and post somewhere for anyone who's interested in hearing em'."

Hardman, who previously played with Gideon and Hundredth, joined Counterparts following the 2016 departure of Jesse Doreen. His playing can be heard on 2017's You're Not You Anymore and 2019's Nothing Left to Love.
