Bass player Dave Melillo shed some light on the situation, saying:


"At the beginning of August I let Shaant know I was leaving the band... At the beginning of July Mikey, Jeff, some family friends, and I sat down with Shaant. We told him the things he needed to change as far as attitude and demeanor goes. I want to make it known that I shut him out of my life after that. He needed to be on his own if he was going to do anything positive for himself. There was not a visible change in his attitude or work ethic when I got back to Buffalo, so I decided to live my own life."


Cute Is What We Aim For last released 'Rotation' in 2008.
