The Regrettes are one of the most exciting new bands on the scene, with their debut LP Feel Your Feelings, Fool! being one of mxdwn’s favorites of 2017. In fact, that record and their dynamic live performances earned the band a place as our 2017 Best New Artist. Today the band announced on Instagram that their bass player Sage Chavis has quit the band.

In the post, the band explains that while she has decided to leave the band, they remain on good terms with the former bassist. There’s no word on who will be a replacement for Chavis in The Regrettes. However, the post does explain that the band will be continuing on and will release a new record in 2019. Take a look at the post below:

hey loves. sage has chosen to leave the band. we still remain great friends and love each other very much. we know how scary change can be, and this has definitely been a tumultuous year, but sometimes change is necessary for new growth. thank you for sticking with us; we will continue on and be releasing a new album in 2019.

It certainly has been a rapid rise for the band, who are led by Lydia Night. Their debut album was released on Warner Brothers Records, spanning earworms like “Seashore.” They also released an EP in 2018 called Attention Seeker, which included the song “Come Through.”
