Olympia Seeking New Vocalist

Posted in Bands on August 7, 2008

Olympia are currently seeking a new vocalist following the departure of frontman Phil Williams.  The band issued the following statement in regards to their search:

We wish Phil the best of luck. He's a great singer and a great friend. Right now we're just anxious to find a replacement and keep moving forward. We've been working hard writing and recording a ton of new material and it's coming out amazing. A lot of things have been coming together for us personally and professionally as a band so we figured now would be as good a time as any to announce that we are looking for a singer. This whole situation has re-energized us so to speak, and these new songs are coming out heavier then our previous stuff and it's really exciting.

Olympia released their debut full-length, Emergencies, in 2007 via Equal Vision Records.
