Please continue to support us through this transition, including Harrison and Dylan in their new ventures, and stay along for the journey with us as we look forward to a whole lot of exciting things coming up! The 8:48 ❤️

This has been a very difficult decision for all parties to make and we thank Harrison and Dylan for everything they’ve done for the band and wish them all the best in the future.

Our lead singer and bassist, Kyle Bellamy and Dylan Hooper, will soon announce plans for the future to continue pursuing success as an original band.

(3/3) So after Cadstock Festival on 20th August, we can announce that our current guitarist and drummer, Harrison Ollier and Dylan Clarke, will be leaving the band by mutual consent.

(2/3) However, we have been unable to agree on the best way to achieve this, and with no solution reached, we have decided there is no way for us all to move forward together.

(1/3) During the last few weeks, all of us in the band have had to discuss the future of The 8:48. Since the band was formed, our aim has always been to break out into music venues and become successful as an original band.
