Side project Hunter, comprised of Kenny Bridges and Erik Hughes from Moneen and Jordan Hastings from Alexisonfire, have announced that they were forced to change their band name due to legal issues. The band is now going by Cunter. Read a statement from the band below. Their debut album will be titled Some F’n A-Hole Tried To Sue Us And Made Us Change Our Name and will be released via Dine Alone Records.

After going through a piss eating contest of name rights. we realized that the man was going to bring us down. We pleaded and begged for other parties to understand we are doing this for the love of punk and would never want to step on the beautiful toes of a cover band. But they would have none of that.

We are excited to push on and start a new identity with a name I would never want to tell my own mother.

We are sorry about having to change our name…but are not sorry what so ever for changing it to Cunter.
