Slow Mass - On Watch (May 11, 2018) • Page 2

50 songs!?

 

I just edited in one last tweet at the bottom, they might legit be releasing a sleep album

 

Well that sure is interesting!

 

Something coming 10/23 at midnight

 

oh my god they did it

 

Whoa!

 

Damn, I knew this was going to be a troll but was still hoping I was wrong

 

Third press of On Watch is up!

 

That’s so exciting! Very pumped for my On Watch re-press to arrive

 

Well, fuck. Dave has been accused of sexual assault. God damn.

The most frustrating thing about this is that I saw Slow Mass over the summer at an outdoor festival and Dave made a speech before their set about not touching people who don’t want to be touched and being safe and to say something if anything happens to you. (Paraphrasing)

So it’s super strange to hear about this.

 

So it looks like they may be gearing up for a return? They just posted this on the bands Instagram story.



Last I heard about the sexual assault situation was that Dave was suing Nina. It all still feels…gross and I do not feel at all comfortable whatsoever in supporting them if this is indeed a return.

 

I hadn't seen Mercedes response until I saw this pop back up in the music forums. Clearly a ton of complicated feelings and unanswered questions from her side. It is so frustrating as a fan who wants to support victims but gets such polar opposite points of view presented - and by Mercedes and not Dave. I don't know what to make of this either, and I usually have pretty clear and strong opinions when this stuff comes out.

 

This was shared on Instagram today by Dave.



It sounds like they are just going to move forward as a band and finally release another album, which I definitely feel…uneasy about. In regards to Mercedes, I understand wanting to support and be there for your band mate who has been accused of doing something horrific but…the way she responded was definitely a bit disappointing. I didn’t really get the vibe she was supporting Nina (the survivor) much at all.

 

Dave posted this to his story. As someone who has been somewhat critical of him (on this website at least) since the allegation came out and also watches his stories (I just am following whether they are actually making a new Slow Mass record or not), welp

 

Looks like they have new music coming, I don’t think this will be received well at all.

 

If literally anyone still cares about this band, or rather if anyone wants to know about what ever happened with the sexual assault situation, this exchange happened on their latest Instagram post about new music coming. Kate from Kittyhawk and Sean from Rozwell Kid (he liked the response from keepingemhonest77 in the above screenshot) stayed friends with Dave and the band after the sexual assault so it’s not surprising seeing where they stand. Personally I still don’t feel comfortable supporting them, but it is interesting seeing who is still sticking by his/the bands side and who cut them off as friends.

 

There are two sides to every story. Men and women are both capable of horrific things.

Considering that there is plenty of evidence that Nina was lying, I'm not sure why you would consider Mercedes' response disappointing. Is she supposed to say "I don't care, I'm still going to hate Dave."? Hate him for what??

If the text messages are legit, and they sure as heck appear to be, Nina is not a survivor. She essentially destroyed his life because she was mad at him. "Cancel culture" or not, it can be used for evil. That's way more "gross" than a band trying to come back after having their worlds completely rocked. I am excited to see what they come up with.

 

Where is the evidence that she was lying? I'm not doubting you, but I only remember seeing what Dave put out (the texts) when this first came out. I haven't seen anything else since then to discredit her allegation. Are the texts Dave released what you are referring to?
