Does It Offend You, Yeah? man quits band Does It Offend You Yeah? Tickets

Morgan Quaintance to focus on Plugs full-time

Does It Offend You Yeah?'s guitarist Morgan Quaintance has quit the band to pursue a career with his other band Plugs.

Speaking to NME.COM, Quaintance explained his decision for leaving the outfit, saying he wanted to have more creative control - something which he felt he could do in Plugs rather than in Does It Offend You Yeah?.

"It [his time in Does It Offend You Yeah?] just came to a natural end really," he explained. "I think there was only so much I could sort of do in that outfit and I kind of wanted to do a bit more musically and creatively, and I think that the only way I could do that was in my own group."

Quaintance continued: "Plugs is my band and Does It Offend You Yeah? was never really my sort of band aesthetically. I didn't really have much choice, I just sort of had to go along with a lot of the stuff that was happening, whereas in Plugs it's like we write the music, we produce it, we do the artwork, we've directed our own video - it just like feels like a creative outlet for me more than Does It Offend You Yeah?."

Plugs' new single, 'All Them Witches', is out on May 18.

Fair play- I always thought DIOYY? were pretty rubbish and Ive never heard of Plugs, but it couldnt have been easy for him to turn his back on it so he can do his own thing. Good on him.

Gutted he is a brilliant guitarist and really added charisma to DIOYY?
