Hull based band, The Colour Line have parted ways with vocalist Chris Arcaster.

Posted from The Colour Line’s Facebook page on 8th February:-

“Some of you already know this anyway, but for the people who don’t, as of tonight we have decided to move on as a band without Chris on vocals. It was a hard decision and as much as he is our closest friend we have decided that it would be in the best interest of the band if we carry on without him. 
We aren’t dropping out of any shows and our new vocalist will be announced tomorrow night at 9pm. (9th Ferbruary)

Sam, Ben, Usama and James”

As there is much speculation as to why this has occurred, the band plan to announce a statement at 9pm tonight (9th February), to explain the reasons behind this. As well as announcing the new vocalist.
