Today’s drama is offered by Southpaw FLHC and the bands that are not touring with them
Boy, do I love drama. On their recently scheduled fall U.S. tour with Southpaw FLHC, Resistor and Resist LA have both given up their support positions, as per theprp. Launching on September 29th, that journey was revealed earlier this week. Due to recent controversy, Resistor and Resist LA stated today, August 8, that they had withdrew from the trek. In the afternoon, Resistor made this claim.
We have been made aware of the current situation and have made the decision to pull out from our upcoming west coast tour. We deeply apologize to everyone who was looking forward to seeing us on this run, and we promise we’ll be making it out to you as soon as possible in 2027.
And Resist LA stated this:
We have been made aware of the situation going on regarding our upcoming tour. We will be dropping the tour. Sorry to anyone that was coming out.
The Southpaw FLHC member’s apparent wearing of merchandise from a company accused of having ties to Nazism earlier in the year has sparked renewed online scrutiny, which has prompted the tour withdrawals. For months now, those allegations have been making the rounds on social media. Southpaw FLHC responded immediately to the social media outcry on the problem on their Instagram page. One Instagram user commented on the band’s recently released merchandise.
so are you guys going to be collabing to release n*zi merch like the ones that your members like to wear and promote
And the band replied…
not a single person in this band is a nazi. DEAD that shit. Take a look at the history of this band , our music & music videos. You will quickly identify the fact that there are mixed races within our friend group. There are also mixed races within our band members. Take a look at the last collab on our page with @deathmetalpanther of @deathpanthermedia , you think my homie would be collabing if we were?
But words aren’t enough, unfortunately. The Empire in Reno, Nevada, one of the tour’s locations, has completely cancelled Southpaw FLHC‘s October 9th performance.
Canceled. We’re not with that shit in Reno. We’ll get the homies in @weareresistor and @resist_310 out soon enough though!
That’s all? Not by a long shot. Arcline has declared that they have withdrawn from their own tour leg with Southpaw FLHC.
We have made the decision to drop off this tour entirely. Apologies and love to all the people behind the scenes who worked so hard and dedicated their time and efforts putting it all together. We’ll make it up to y’all in 2027
