Rival Schools have announced that guitarist Ian Love has decided to leave the band.

The band posted the following about Love's decision:

"We regret to announce that our good friend Ian Love has decided to part ways with Rival Schools. He is a tremendous talent who will be missed greatly and we wish him well in his future endeavors.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will be continuing Rival Schools a pace, gearing up for our October US tour which kicks off October 14th in Philadelphia at the First Unitarian Church. We're looking forward to the new music we're working on, new recordings and the next chapter for Rival Schools."

The band's latest album "Pedals", was released earlier this year through Photo Finish/Atlantic Records.
