Commented Pump bassit Michael Vetter: "We had many candidates for the vacant position, among them a number of really good musicians, and having to reject them really wasn't easy. We want to thank all the applicants, thank you for your understanding and we wish you all lots of success in the future!"

Guitarist Aki Reissmann has to say: "We are extremely excited to announce and welcome Oliver Weers into the band as vocalist. Oliver has really been a breath of fresh air for us, and in the first week of jamming with him we were able to finish the recoding of the new album 'Waiting for the Rapture' soon. Oliver's voice add new dimensions to our sound. Thanks for always supporting Pump, and keep your ears open for hot news in 2013"
