We will be pulling out of all official SXSW shows next week.
There’s no reason for
@sxsw
to involve the music of our peers and music at large with the US Army and defense companies that are actively committing and/or complicit in genocide.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Nex Benedict was a 16 yo non binary student in Oklahoma who was murdered in the girls bathroom by fellow students. No teachers or staff called the authorities to help Nex after they initially survived the attack. This is the world Oklahoma elected leaders and Ryan Walter’s want.
Bands pull out of SXSW over U.S. Army sponsorship.
Bye. Don’t come back.
Austin remains the HQ for the Army Futures Command.
San Antonio is Military City USA.
We are proud of the U.S. military in Texas.
If you don’t like it, don’t come here.
Gel are fucking clowns to think nobody would notice that they blatantly stole one of the most iconic alt rock band logos ever for their shirt design Imao. Trendcore simps will seethe in defense of this though.
Sunami are fucking clowns to think nobody would notice that they blatantly stole one of the most iconic powerviolence album covers ever for their shirt design lmao. Trendcore simps will seethe in defense of this though.
YOUR CREAMPIE JOKES ARE REALLY FUNNY! KEEP TWEETING THEM! I LAUGH EVERY TIME!
I’M SO STOKED MEN THINK THAT’S THE APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO A VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS!
I would very much like to talk about Frank Iero and his incredibly endearing love of hardcore music. He shows up for the scene in a bunch of ways and I think that is spectacular from someone who has a higher profile in the music world. He's a real one.
This is a 🧵thread!
Two of the bands we’re touring with on an unannounced tour this summer both put out insane LPs this year and sound totally different from both us and each other. Really excited to announce these shows.
Tomorrow show in Minneapolis is sold out.
It’s very bittersweet considering the events that happened a few days ago. We’re going to be donating a portion of merch & door sales to the victims.
Also, for those anywhere else in the world, please consider donating (cont…)
If you play the record Only Constant by the artist Gel at 11:58pm tonight you’ll go into 2024 listening to a cool ass hardcore record and not Mitski again or some shit
Yo I appreciate the love and interest in us and our music, but for future reference, please don’t come up to any of us and try to have a conversation regarding to the genders of the people who play in this band.
That’s not a conversation we want to have with strangers.
