I've screenshot the article so that if/when it gets taken down it will still be available via the forum. Maybe we can keep an archive of interview links and screenshots so nothing about this project gets lost or forgotten - i'm quite happy to take interview shots.

I found this on the BBC website's music pages:
Steven James Hewitt (born 22 March 1971) was the drummer for the band Placebo between mid-1996 and October 2007. He was born in Northwich, Cheshire, England. Prior to joining Placebo, Hewitt was a member of various bands such as Electric Crayons, K-Klass, The Mystic Deckchairs, Boo Radleys and Breed. He also worked as a session musician. Like previous drummer, Schultzberg, he also plays drums left-handed.
He met band member Brian Molko through his then-girlfriend. Although he appeared on some early demo tapes for Placebo, he wasn't able to join the band at first due to prior commitments to Breed. Placebo then earned their record deal with replacement drummer Robert Schultzberg. Later, as Breed broke up, Schultzberg was departing from Placebo so Hewitt accepted the invitation to join Placebo permanently.
On 1 October 2007, it was announced via the official Placebo website that Steve Hewitt had parted company with Placebo due to personal and musical differences.
The debut LP of his thus far unnamed solo project is currently completed. Hewitt's new band are rehearsing currently.
Steve Hewitt is now in a new band named Love Amongst Ruin. They are set to release a new album in 2010.
They seem to have borrowed it from wikipedia, but it's cool to see LAR mentioned there.

I haven't seen this little nugget of press anywhere, although if I've missed it I do apologise: From the NME website, a link to the Blood and Earth download and a little bit of publicity: Detail: "5. Love Amongst Ruin – ‘Blood & Earth’ After an 11-year run drumming for Placebo, Steve Hewitt has now formed his own band, this time taking the frontman role. With a self-titled debut album due out in September and an upcoming tour, we’re excited to see him back on the musical map."
