yeah this really sucks, thinking about the amount of money ive given HR over the years, the number if bands that are going to be fucked by this, its all a shit show.
Svalbard and Palm Readers albums both come out in the next month or so, and i just don’t see how to support two bands i love while making it clear i want to give no more money to HR.
Which reminds me I need to cancel my label subscriptin...

I think Svalbard have left the label, I'm not sure about Palm Reader but I can't see how any bands could continue to support the label. He's put out a statement categorically denying the allegations, claiming that he's seeking legal advice on how to "clear his name" (I think both of his parents work in the legal field so I can fully believe it) whilst resigning from the company.
I'm in the same boat, I've given HR a lot of my money over the years, they've put out some great records.
I don't know Palm Reader personally but Svalbard are all good people and I'm sure they'll find a way to do the right thing.

There's some really really horrible stuff coming out about Alex Fitzpatrick who runs Holy Roar. It seems like more and more stuff is coming out in quick succession so this article is probably already out of date but gives an idea of how disgusting and widespread his abuse has been. It seems like a lot of bands, including my pals in Rolo Tomassi and all of his staff are leaving the label.
TW: abuse/rape
Sorry to post something so upsetting in here but I thought people should be made aware of who they're supporting if they support Holy Roar.
