In early 2009 former members of Rise Against, Ignite and Death By Stereo decided to join forces with singer Steve Ludwig to create the punk rock super group Nations Afire.  The band put out an EP in April of ’09 (titled The Uprising), did a couple tours, and now seems to have mysteriously dropped their lead singer from the band roster.  If you check out the band’s facebook page you’ll notice the promo shot of the band is sans Ludwig and he is no longer listed under the Members section.  No official statement has been made yet regarding Ludwig’s departure but we’ll keep you posted.
