Guitarist Jonathan Radtke did not join the band on the Europe leg of their fall 2008 Hope for the Hopeless tour. Tom Schleiter, the guitarist from Powerspace , joined them in his place. Radtke returned to play the band’s yearly “New Heart for Xmas” show in Chicago (during which the band premiered two new songs: “Snowblinded” and “Radio”, but bassist Greg Corner later confirmed in a radio interview with Chicago’s Q101 that Radtke had in fact left the band to pursue other projects and had not been present in recording their new album. Posts on Radtke’s Twitter account refer to his new side project, Polar Moon.
