Nights Like These is a metalcore[1] band from Memphis, Tennessee, heavily influenced by death metal and sludge metal. In 2006, Nights Like These released their debut, The Faithless, to overall positive reviews[2][3] on Victory Records. They released their most recent album Sunlight at Secondhand on October 16, 2007, again on Victory Records. In 2008 the band went on hiatus for the first part of the year. It was later announced (via the bands myspace) that drummer Patrick Leatherwood had left the band due to other commitments. The band announced that they were planning to scale back on touring and albums, as opposed to taking on a full time touring schedule with yearly albums. The Victory Records website has taken off Nights Like These from their "Artist" page, this has since started a fire storm of rumors that the band and Victory have separated. On July 15th 2008, Nights Like These posted a Myspace blog confirming their split with Victory and their new drummer Todd Pasterniak.
