Accountability in Music • Page 378

there’s a lot of wiggle room for a manipulator like ESH to work with in that statement, especially the “the year is up, do what you’re going to do” part

 

I was thinking that but then you get into the hypothetical of them not even reading the article. Idk, it's such a weird situation and the (one public) survivor kinda makes it clear that they don't want any part of the narrative to continue.

I feel weird PMing artists about the situation because that feels like going against the survivors wishes to not be a part of the situation

 

Really fucking disappointed in Hovvdy, especially because I was a big fan of their most recent record but if they want to throw their lot in with that predatory fuck and his band then I have no time for them.

 

this is just gonna keep happening so RIP to your favorite bands

 

see, this is something I've been OK with for a while. there's always more music out there to be discovered and I've no time to waste on bands that either figuratively or literally support predators like ESH.

 

Lol yeah I don't necessarily understand the intent of that post. Every time it happens, I'm going to post about it and it's going to suck. I'm not going to write off the artists entirely, but it certainly stings. Same with people working with JJR or any other abuser.

 

Matt Skiba continues flirting with fascism. A recent poster promoting a solo show he's doing in March:

Thats the Totenkopf symbol Nazis love so much.

 

He was promoting Might Is Right on Instagram yesterday too.

 

What the fuck

 

Goddamn. I was on the fence about that BR/Alk3 tour. This is definitely compelling me to skip it.

 

This is a really tough one for me. I bought will call presale tickets early on, but I am losing all interest in actually going.

 

Doubling down on Might is Right, here's info on Moynihan and Lords of Chaos: “Lords of Chaos” Brings a White Nationalist’s Book to the Big Screen

Also Feral House publishes a lot of neo-fascist/white supremacist books.

Fuck Skiba.

 

Seems a bit odd for Bad Religion to be going on tour with a guy veering so dangerously close to straight up Nazism

 

Skiba is definitely a "how far the mighty have fallen" story for me. Just a complete hard swerve into total trash territory.

 

Have you seen the movie? Doesn't push an agenda at all. It's a fairly average movie and more so shows how crazy/nuts they were and quick brief of what happened. Doesn't paint them in good presence at all.

 

holy fuck

 

Wild that a band like Bad Religion for all their pontificating wants to tour with a guy like Skiba

 

From a Wikipedia search, the symbol next to the 6 has a relationship to Death in June as well.

 

Skiba's an idiot.

 

With Skiba becoming more and more overt with his interest in Nazism, I'm curious to see how Bad Religion responds if at all.

 

yikes, it was an editorial choice

 

I'm a little lost on the Boston thing, what's going on?

 

they referred to Camp Blood as “anthropoids”, which literally means primate

 

As far as Skiba goes, I was already not listening to Trio because of his bullshit but now I definitely don't want to. Def not supporting Blink either if that's the company they want to keep.

 

Ah, I didn't catch the 6. Yeah, a reference to the band and it could also be a cryptic reference to June 1934 when Hitler had Roehm murdered. Some white nationalists like Death in June romanticize Roehm and his National Bolshevism movement.
