Rob Fish had quit the band

On March 23, 2010, before the release of 18.61 , it was announced that Rob Fish had quit the band, discontent with the band not being able to “redefine” its ties to faith. (Rob and Vic were no longer part of ISKCON by the time of the bands reformation. ) The remaining members of the group later released the following statement: “108 has not broken up. Rasaraja [a.k.a. Robert Fish] has left the band, but 108 will continue in full force with a new direction and focus. We will be writing, recording and playing shows this year to support 18.61 and create new music.”
