Ben Milner, the ex-bass player of Jarcrew, has decided to set the record straight and tell his side of the story behind his seemingly untimely and rather secretive departure from the 'Crew's ranks.
"I just want to say that I didn't leave the band - they kicked me out on the first day of January 2004... I don't like people thinking that I left. It was against my will and that's all I can say."
Having just completed their biggest headline tour so far as a four piece with guitarist Rich Williams taking on bass duties, the mystery surrounding Milner's departure seems even more baffling.

Re: Jar Wars
it would seem like they just don't like him? Surely there cannot be anything else to it?
Or maybe he was stealing all of their instruments to pay for a fudge habit.

It's true, he got the boot because he was a twat who considerd himself 'different' from the rest of the lads.

as long as jarcrew continute making music i dont really mind whos in the band, its a shame he left but i saw jarcrew in january and they were just as good without him, both tom and rich shared bass duties and sometimes they didnt even bother with a bass. its a shame he had to leave but it happened.

Ben isn't a twat.He will return in a better band. I'm sure he appreciates all the good will mo-fo's. See you at the gig

Ben was a really nice guy. Spoke to him every time I saw the band and he was polite and remembered me even though I'm no more than some random guy who's band played with Jarcrew once. Didn't know he'd left the band until I read this, but I'm upset for him and wish him luck for the future :)

i have seen them twice and both times it seemed to be that he didn't quite fit in with the rest of them, they didn't really seem to communicate much with him. They didn't with Kelson either....but who could sack him, the mans a genius :)
