Sometimes when you’re on the road for copious amounts of time, it can take a toll on not only your body but on your mentality as well. Somos have been nonstop touring since the release of their excellent debut album Temple of Plenty back in March, with tourmates including I Am The Avalanche, Modern Baseball, and most recently a stint with Dads coming up this February.

Unfortunately, the band recently announced on their official Facebook page that they will be dropping off said tour due to vocalist/bassist Michael Fiorentino’s mental health. Read the post Fiorentino posted on the band’s Facebook:

We have some unfortunate news to share: we are no longer on the February tour with Dads and Roger Harvey. Dropping a tour is a tough thing to do, and I want to be very open about why we came to this decision. I have struggled with anxiety and depression, and it eventually built up to the point where touring in February was daunting and unmanageable. I recently started to get serious about treatment, but we want to have a few months off while I pursue the goal of dramatically improving my mental health.

We plan on continuing to tour and make music, once I take the proper time to address my health. We sincerely apologize to Dads and Roger Harvey, as well as to anyone who bought advance tickets.

-Michael
