The band’s reunification
Back in November 2021, The Neighborhood announced they would take an indefinite hiatus after 10 years in the industry. The next thing related to the band came a year later, when The Marías’ drummer María Zardoya reported The Neighborhood’s drummer Brandon Fried for sexual harassment. As a result of this, Fried was kicked out of the retired band. In this time between the split and the reunification, vocalist Jesse Rutherford took the opportunity to write for his solo career. It was on August 29, 2025, that they finally made it official that they would reunite.
Due to Fried getting out of his substance struggles and his remorse for his past actions, they announced his reinstatement with the band. Rolling Stone magazine posted the band’s declarations about this matter saying: “In November 2022, it became evident that Brandon’s struggles with substance abuse needed immediate attention, and we agreed it was best for him to step away and focus on his recovery,” the band wrote in their statement.
“To those who spoke up and helped bring this to light, thank you. Your courage helped us get our friend the support he needed”. The band added: “We are proud of Brandon, the changes he has made, and the progress he continues to make in his life. Being in each other’s lives for over 20 years, when one of us is going through something, it impacts all of us.”
