Taylor Eby rejoins Handguns

Vocalist Taylor Eby has rejoined Handguns. A statement can be found below

As many of you know, I parted ways with Handguns back in July due to personal reasons. It felt like the touring life was really starting to take a toll on me and I got scared and did what I thought would be the best decision: I came home, settled down and got a job. Someone I work with asked me if I saw myself doing this job for the rest of my life. It was right there and that moment that I knew where it is I exactly need to be and exactly where I belong: in a van and on stage with my best friends. I’m refusing to give up on this dream I’ve had since I was thirteen. This is who I am and all I know.

Editor’s Note:

I lol’d at the statement.

He gets burnt out on tour life and makes a big decision to quit the band, then goes home and gets a job. Then someone asks him if he wants to be there forever (just because you’re at one job doesn’t mean you’re gonna do it forever) and he has an epiphany and instantly decides to quit and go back to what he left.

Taylor,

Gimme the whole truth. (Don’t) gimme your best excuse.
