Beach Slang guitarist removed from band in wake of sexual assault allegations - UPDATED - News - Alternative Press
For us, Beach Slang has always been and will always be a safe place for everyone. It was built to be welcoming. It was built to be soft. If we are going to continue to exist, we have to exist in this way. There have been allegations involving sexual assault and our guitarist, Ruben. Although this occurred four years ago and prior to him joining Beach Slang, we cannot in good conscience continue with him. We believe survivors and we want to believe Ruben, but until we learn more information, we don't feel it's appropriate for him to be a part of Beach Slang. We strongly support survivors and organizations such as www.rainn.org and we encourage you to use their resources if you need help. We will be making a donation to RAINN at the conclusion of this tour to do our part in helping to ensure these resources are there for those who need it. Given the timing of this, our only option is to play as Quiet Slang (James solo acoustic). I mean, giving up never seems to fix things. Maybe today, we can start putting some stuff back together. The Bleached Slang tour starts tonight in Washington, DC. Maybe that's a good place to start. Keep each other safe, Beach Slang
I've been waiting to see this band for awhile now. So i'm a little torn on if I should still go to the dates I planned on going to. I planned on hitting up 3 dates. If anything I may just do the one here where I live. yeah It may not be full band but it's still Beach Slang, it's still the words that made me fall in love with this band. And James is really a great guy.
