  1. Sure but like I thought there were news stories and discourse, well beyond open secret territory

  3. I don't recall an article before now, but there was definitely a blog/Tumblr post and many, many tweets about it. Truly crazy that it still hasn't picked up steam

    Lots of huge artists must be seeing the Thom Yorke backlash and hoping no one asks them about their stance on Israel/Palestine in a public forum.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a Radiohead tour soon just to try to get on the public’s good side

  12. This was happening even before he made his statement I believe

    Statement from Michael Tait (formerly of Newsboys, dc Talk, TAIT) on the allegations against him. Surprised he admitted to it. Not surprised by the fluffy, over-spiritualized apology.

    Also unsurprising that he glosses over the "I touched people inappropriately" part to make it all about him and his "sin". Pure fucking narcissism.

    He also does not mention any kind of restorative work for these victims. It’s just “Sorry! I’m praying for you!” Like, even alcoholics have to take the steps of making amends to those they’ve hurt. Restoring your faith does nothing to help others.

    Right… so like most abusers he’s only sorry now that he got caught.

    No, he quit and went to rehab on his own BEFORE these allegations came out! Now he’s clean and sober and DEFINITELY not attracted to dudes! Duh! Certainly didn’t catch wind that this was coming and tried to get ahead of it…

    Someone has exposed the 30 music industry zionists who signed a secret closed letter to Glastonbury, urging them to take Kneecap off the bill.

    And what a coincidence, Radiohead/Thom Yorke’s manager is on it! There are people on it with links to groups such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Nick Cave, HAIM, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Coldplay, Depeche Mode, and more.

    I get that it's the CCM scene, but no one's upset that you drank and used drugs, people are upset that you're sexually abusing people. Yet his and the bands statements both make a bigger deal about his uses and not his abuses. It's sickening.

    Exactly, it's not "touched men in an unwanted sensual way", it's fucking sexual assault. I don't care about drug and alcohol use as long as he can handle it. I do care if he's a sexual predator using his stage to find victims.

    it's because people want to use religion as a get out of jail free card and the right wing laps it up

    Back in 2021, Sincere Engineer played a Lollapalooza aftershow opening up for The Front Bottoms. The survivor messaged a member of the band and requested they drop off the show stating they did not feel comfortable with Sincere Engineer playing with The Front Bottoms. The survivor said they had a productive conversation with that member before the member ghosted them and continued to play the show. None of the band members have responded or reached out to the survivor since (posting two of the original tweets below, but there are subsequent tweets from later that also claim no further responses) and are now continuing to associate with The Front Bottoms against the survivors wishes.

    The Front Bottoms did an excellent job burying both the allegations, how they handled them, and the survivors requests extremely well so it’s understandable bands may not be aware of the situation but when the survivor reaches out to one of your (Sincere Engineer) band members and the band member says that Deanna has concerns playing with TFB (when they were booked to open the Lolla aftershow) and they are going to talk it over only to ghost the survivor (there are message receipts out there showing this)…that’s not great.
