Yeah, that might be a new low in headlines, and a hell of a stretch, but what I’m trying to say is that the Sword have found a replacement for drummer Trivett Wingo, and he’s… someone we never heard of. Kevin Fender is a veteran of the Austin music scene and played in the hardcore band Employer, Employee. Apparently, he had no plans to go to business school, since the band has rescheduled their tour dates that they had to cancel after Mr. Wingo (wow, that sounds like a good horror movie villain name) decided not to continue on with them. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. This time, they’ll be bringing out Karma To Burn and Mount Carmel as support. Tour dates after the jump.11/27 Baton Rouge, LA – Spanish Moon
