It’s time to speak about everybody’s favourite and least controversial subject: cancel tradition. I’m certain this received’t spark loads of backlash in our feedback part.
Hardcore band Roman Candle have been dropped from SeeYouSpaceCowboy’s upcoming tour to help their new album Coup de Grace due to abuse allegations levelled on the Roman Candle’s former bassist Nico Borgia which got here alongside allegations that the opposite band members knew concerning the state of affairs and made a concerted effort to not deal with the difficulty. Roman Candle parted methods with Borgia in January due to the accusations, however with the accuser saying that the band tried to disregard and bury the difficulty, Roman Candle continues to face backlash on-line.
SeeYouSpaceCowboy made a short-but-sweet assertion on Twitter saying the removing of Roman Candle, saying:
“After listening to your issues, Roman Candle will now not be on the tour.”
Following the backlash that got here from the unique announcement of Roman Candle being on the tour, Roman Candle posted a press release defending themselves on their official Instagram account, with the assertion studying:
“I’ll communicate my fact one final time.
“Nobody was proven a video of anybody abusing anybody.
“I (Piper) STILL, nearly 5 months later, haven’t seen this video.
“The rumor that I noticed a video of somebody being abused has already been disproven a number of instances, and the one who initially posted it went again on that accusation the identical day.
“I’m a sufferer of home violence, our whole ep is about Jonas & l’s expertise with home violence, and I’d not condone that habits anyplace close to me. Whether or not I used to be in a band or not.
“There isn’t any abuser in our band. Cease calling us ‘apologists’ once we acted instantly. Now we have performed actually every part that could possibly be performed on this state of affairs apart from merely stop music- which isn’t occurring.
“Should you don’t like our music, that’s wonderful.
“However throwing issues on the market like “they hang around with p*dos! They SA’d somebody!” with completely no proof or context, to 2 people who find themselves brazenly writing songs about having been by way of the SAME THINGS is disgusting and performative.
“False accusations do nothing however make it more durable for precise victims to be taken severely.
“We do that for us and for nobody else. There may be not sufficient cash or clout on this style for me to do have another motive to proceed on with this. I’ve enjoyable dancing on stage and singing my little songs and that’s all that is about. That is Jonas & I’s model of remedy.
I’m eternally grateful for each individual that resonates with our music and continues to help us and work with us”
Nonetheless, it appears that evidently everybody on the Web believes that Roman Candle knew concerning the allegations earlier than they went public, which the band appears unlikely to have the ability to get better from. Perhaps breaking apart and members ending up in different bands can be what it takes to lastly put this behind them. If that fails, I hear that fleeing to Eire is what all of the canceled musicians are doing this season.
