If last year's trend was breakups and van accidents, I suppose this year's is drummers leaving their respective bands. In the spirit of this, Wade Youman has left Unwritten Law. Here's the official site's statement:

"After sixteen years, founding drummer Wade Youman of Unwritten Law has been fired. For more information and current happenings with Wade, please visit his website at www.wadeyouman.com."

No word on who is replacing Youman in Unwritten Law, who are currently working on their 5th full-length for Atlantic/Lava.
