RIP Tom Searle (Architects)
The name might not mean much to a lot of people, but Architects' guitarist Tom Searle has passed away at 28 years old.
Architects have been one of the best British bands around for a while now - they combine exceptionally heavy music with highly topical lyrical content and Tom was responsible for some exceptional riffs on the last few albums. I was gutted when they pulled out of Download earlier this year due to a family emergency, and to see someone so talented and at the peak of his musical career go at such a young age after a battle with cancer is truly heartbreaking.
