Reports Say Stereo Motion is Calling it a Day

CMCentral's former editor, Robin Parrish recently said that the group Stereo Motion, formerly knowns as Phat Chance, has decided to part ways.

Parrish says that Justin called the break-up completely amicable; they just felt like it was time to move onto other things: "he's moved to Nashville and plans to be a roadie working on various tours. I think Dallas is planning to go to college, Bryan wants to be a youth pastor, and I think he said Brent is getting married."
