It seems
like the best way option.
The band I
had planned on reviewing today, Stillframe, has broken up. I have reviewed
broken up bands before, but I found this announcement from the 5th:
"Hey
everyone, in regards to the current situation of our singer, Marc, the rest of
the members in Stillframe deem it inappropriate to continue moving on with this
entity. So the remaining members have all decided to disband and make
Stillframe no more."
What
situation is that? He was recently revealed to have committed many sexual
assaults, including underage girls.
I feel bad
for the others. Writing a review of the music I have listened to seems like it
would be counter to their wishes, and it looks like the Twitter account is
already gone, so the other links might end up being dead soon anyway. (There
are some similarly named bands that can cause some confusion.)
I also
admire them. Their singer was not the first band member to have assaulted
anyone, underage or not. There is often a tendency to play it down or explain
it away or to try in some way not to know about it or act on it. They have
acted decisively and quickly. I am sure there is a sense of loss.
I am also
hopeful for them. They haven't announced any future plans, and maybe they are
too disgusted right now to think of trying again. However, they were in other
bands before; they can have other chances, together or separately.
So this is
wishing good luck to David Fernandez, Kevin Herrera, and Kyle Lacoste. Thank
you for taking a stand. I hope good things come your way.
