Jar Wars
domgourlay by Dom Gourlay February 25th, 2004
Ben Milner, the ex-bass player of Jarcrew, has decided to set the record straight and tell his side of the story behind his seemingly untimely and rather secretive departure from the 'Crew's ranks.

"I just want to say that I didn't leave the band - they kicked me out on the first day of January 2004... I don't like people thinking that I left. It was against my will and that's all I can say."

Having just completed their biggest headline tour so far as a four piece with guitarist Rich Williams taking on bass duties, the mystery surrounding Milner's departure seems even more baffling.

DiScuss: If you know anything more about this, post away!
