Label Stops Selling PWR BTTM Album, Venues Cancel Tour Dates

I am glad the outrage from this situation is far reaching, up to and including where the concentration of money is for this band. The labels and venues showing these bands need to stand against this behavior as well.

 

I couldn't agree more with the comments - people should always come first.

 

I hope we treat future cases this seriously

 

Take note Run For Cover, Hopeless and every other label currently employing one of the seemingly dozen other punk bands who had members do horrible things.

 

Sad to think about other such cases that did not result in consequences of this severity. The responses have historically been inconsistent to say the least. hopefully skolnik is proven right going forward, that we'll use this as a model for the future.

 

hope the victims can find some justice... what a goddamn shame they couldn't practice what they preached.

 

Band is for sure done. Good.

 

Who on Run For Cover?

 

Record is officially off all streaming services except Spotify who's pulling it tomorrow.

 

assuming this is about the turnover emotional abuse situation

although i'm not thrilled with the job RFC did with whirr, seeing that it took until shit actually hit the fan while they helped indulge the band while they were being shitty beforehand

 

what cwhit said, Turnover being on there is the biggest current problem for them, but the Whirr thing took forever to actually turn into anything so that's not much better.

 

What happened with Turnover? I haven't heard this before

 

I was just about to say I never heard of this band until the allegations and I just went to hear what they sounded like and they are yanked from Apple music. Its great to see so many people from members to venues to record labels putting their foot down. everyone from every aspect of the music community has come together on all levels.

 

I have Apple Music and I added the record a day before the allegations cause Tancred was supporting them. I noticed today it was taken away lol. Good riddance.

 

Sounds like another shitty guy being a shitty guy. If I was RFC I wouldn't necessarily drop them over that. But then again I saw the singer sort of harass Mariel from Candy Hearts on twitter a few years ago so maybe they should go away ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

can't even buy it digitally off amazon anymore

 

So I guess they probably aren't gonna be reading and responding to those emails? Good riddance.

 

What Polyvinyl did was incredibly surprising (although it shouldn't be) and amazing. I can't believe things are happening. People, and even big companies, are reacting. It's just wonderful to see, and I hope this gives others who may have experienced this type of abuse the courage and confidence that if they speak out, we're finally starting to listen.

 

as long as the action to discipline stays consistent in the future, I'm glad it's happening. otherwise, I worry there might be a queer bias...

 

yeah why didn't neck deep get dropped off there label?

 

Posted this on the last thread, but pretty much as it was dying down. Still disappointed Sorority Noise hasn't pulled this Facebook post or updated it in regards to the news.

 

that post is from a month ago. i've posted about pwr bttm a ton, i shouldn't be expected (nor should we expect other people) to go back and edit old posts.

 

If the post was just about the music I'd tend to agree with you (although I think I'd personally still go back and remove any endorsements for this band had I posted them). The part that bothers me is that it references a personal relationship with them as well. I think touting a friendship with Ben and Liv at this point doesn't look good on any level.
