What band is that ? Let’s hear all the juicy gossip
Seriously though, who are they ? I need some new music to listen too
I cannot in good conscience recommend listening to anything from this band, nor similar groups from this genre as a whole. I wish I didn’t know any of it, waste of good brain RAM.
Though if you wanted to know, these two gents with five silly haircuts each were/are both lead singers of Escape The Fate.
The scene all aged so terribly, and like punk before it doesn't have any resonance or relevance when divorced from the time period in which it emerged.
Would hesitate to call it post-hardcore, though it technically falls into that subgenre, as there are some truly transcendent PHC bands such as Unwound, Hopesfall, my beloved Glassjaw. These clowns were not doing anything on that level.
Even Ronnie Radke, the taller man in this clip, has disavowed the entire Screamo movement, and says he doesn't like or care about that music anymore, though he popularised and spearheaded it back in the day.
Nowadays, he makes horrific Twitchstream rap and does features on Nu-country songs, and believes in his own ridiculous hype despite said praise emanating only from fans he openly abhors.
He's an insane and laughable character, filter-free and probably ripe for trolling here tbhwtcha as he cannot resist taking bait and LOVES drama & mess (such a shitstirrer that he's banned from entering the U.K.) His big mouth & pretty face has got him in quite a bit of bother, inside and outside prison.
Though he also shares quite a few sentiments with the forum, such as a vocal loathing of fat people, emo kids, and pronouned persons.
As for the beef these two had, it's too wordy and gay and stupid even for me to type out, so
have a read here if you're curious.
Craig Mabbitt (the shorter man in the clip) wrote this song about Ronnie when Ronnie went to jail and stopped talking to him, it's very sweet. And queer.
