But also entirely unsurprising that this band would associate themselves with a band like that honestly lol
Man I got excited for a Portland date, but no fucking way I’m supporting Emarosa. Absolutely disgusting decision for TDS to tour with them.
That's all horrible. Before reading this I was listening to their music which at least for the first song, sounded like all the other electro pop out there right now
In the same boat. I've never heard of Emarosa before. Got the email for the tour announcement, checked out a song from Emarosa on Spotify. Didn't think it was that bad, and saw the ticket price was only $26 after fees so was gonna pull the trigger. I'll definitely skip this one.
It's just a bummer as I wanted to hit up the Toledo show. There just seems to be constant controversy surrounding TDS. I am curious who the new drummer will be
Considering how successfully the Emarosa stuff got brushed under the rug it’s really weird to assume the worst intentions from TDS and insinuate the worst by saying you’ve gotten “weird vibes” from them for a while or whatever. Instead of assuming they just don’t know and maybe trying to inform them (I tweeted at them) your instinct is to get mad and say “I knew they were weird”? Cmon now
If enough people reach out and they still don’t give a fuck by all means rip into them but nothings gonna change here if you assume everyone knows everything about every band
A lot of bigger bands are still touring with All Time Low with no real blowback. I don’t see them touring with Emarosa having any real impact for them.
It’s just a last straw for me. Immature lyrics, overall glorification of drinking nonstop/drug use, and yes, a “weird” at best social media presence from the band. Now, touring with a band who has a lead singer who is an abuser. It's just too immature for me from people that are pushing 40. Maybe I'll change my mind if they drop off, but I doubt it will happen. I'm not faulting anyone for still listening or supporting, but I think this is the point where I'm out on supporting them or listening to any new stuff.
Remember when everyone thought Cody Payne was the source of most of this band’s controversy? Lol. And ironically enough I haven’t really loved anything from them since he was in the band.
Uh ... the dude that sexually assaulted people, harassed me on multiple occasions, stole money from people, burglarized people, and would make suicidal threats to members of the AP.net staff ... was definitely a far bigger source of this band's "controversies."
Sucks but I’d like to see them respond directly to the accusations against Emarosa. That comment doesn’t necessarily indicate that that’s why they’re “better than that tour.”
