In 2012 Rob announced that he had retired from music and left the following post on his personal Facebook account:
"...I have spent the majority of my life playing music in a band, I have been a lot of places and met a lot of people, done a lot of crazy things and learned a lot, still room to learn much more, and I look forward to learning in a different way.
I am grateful for all of this, but believe it is time for me to exit this scene, as I do not agree with the politics of the "music business". From my stand point, it tends to bring out the worst in people, and I am well over wanting to surround myself with that.
What I take with me from all of this, is all the very special people I have gotten to meet through this time, people who love music and treat it with the dignity and timelessness that it demands. What I will leave, is the corrupt bags of shit that try to manipulate it for personal gain, these people represent nothing I wish a part of, and unfortunately, they were closer than I ever would imagine to what I love.
Sometime(s), the only way to honor what you love and believe in is to step away, for now, I step away..."
