    Parkway Drive have fired a former employee after they pleaded guilty to a sex offense.

    “This happened before we were a band, however we bear moral responsibility for contracting him from 2003, on and off over the years. While he hasn’t toured with us since 2017, more recently he’s been part of our Australian online merch team.

    “When the band heard about this, we terminated his contract immediately. He’s no longer involved with Parkway Drive in any capacity. This is heartbreaking on a very human scale.’

    Mind you, that "former employee" is the drummer's brother, so either they did know for a long time, or the drummer has been a complete asshole for hiding that from them all these years.

    I’m betting they knew. For sure the drummer did. But I don’t see it likely that the drummer didn’t mention this to the other bandmates in private over the last several years. Glad I’m not a fan of this band.
