Here's A Recap Of The ATTILA, OCEANO & DEALER Tour Drama From This Week

It got to be a little bit much.

Drama

Attila recently announced a US tour dubbed America's Rejects with Oceano, Dealer, and Nathan James, and it spiraled out of control pretty quickly. The tour came under fire by fans and a few other musicians due to members of both Attila and Dealer being accused of alleged sexual misconduct over the years. This resulted in extensive back-and-forth online between Oceano vocalist Adam Warren and fans, leading to Warren quitting Oceano and the band being set to break up in 2025.

Attila vocalist Chris Fronzak has since commented on Oceano's departure from the tour, saying: "Yeah, here's my comment- I don't give a fuck!" Another fan commented that there are "are good bands that can fill that spot and fucking rock that tour," to which Fronzak responded: "100000%. We're gonna make it even sicker now!" So predictably there's no issue on the Attila front.

Dealer vocalist Aidan Ellaz Holmes also issued a lengthier statement, as he's been the one to draw most of the ire due to being fired from Alpha Wolf back in 2018 over the aforementioned allegations.

Holmes issued the following statement via Instagram stories, as transcribed by The PRP: "I was 21 in 2018 when the allegations first became a thing. A lot people don't even realise it was involving someone I loved dearly which it made all the more heart breaking. (One day I'll explain everything but I honestly don't think any of you deserve it)

"This scene is made of up of deeply insecure people that seem to be in love with the concept of hypocrisy. Pointing the finger but never having a look at themselves

"AW have always weaponised these allegations against me. They're done it since Dealer first formed in 2018. I wished and I wanted to believe they do it because they care so much. That their hearts are so full for something they believe in despite it being false. How can I blame them? I would honestly do the same

"but then in 2020 allegations of their label owner and booking agent grooming underage girls went viral on Twitter, with screenshots and evidence and no one batted an eye. why

"why is it pick and choose and not all or nothing like it is for me. I went to court I went through the process, I followed everything accordingly. I tried to do the right thing. I'm so tired of it all, and I don't want to give up my passion and love for something because people I either don't know or have not seen in many many years don't want me to

"I left the scene I had something missing I wanted to continue my passion for music. I wanted to write another record and get back out there and took alot to do. Only for the same repeating things, none of it is even real. Nothing is even real it's just talk. People making jokes about abuser tours or 'women cover their drinks.' It's disgusting. Why even joke about shit like that.

"I have a mother, a sister, and a girlfriend, you got people just throwing words like 'r*pist' around for the clicks and it's honestly disgusting.

"By language and response alone it's hard for me to believe any of you actually care about the issue at hand. Which is violent crimes against women, instead it's just you taking your shot and making your hit to make yourself feel better. It's opportunist behaviour if anything.

"the problem stems from within you, look man I'm not a perfect person. I've made mistakes and I've tried my best to be a better person everyday for the people I love. And what… YOU won't allow me that? What do I need to vocalise every therapy session, or make some long winded bullshit post that is designed to purely 'flip' the narrative fuck that man.

"I am not a 'r*pist' that's it. I am not a harm to anyone or anything. this scene and it's culture to just to destroy is fucked. The way people came after Adam was fucked when the dude did literally nothing wrong.

"and just a quick one to the people saying I was running and hiding, wouldn't go to venues and wouldn't do shit, I was too busy volunteering overseas trying to do the right thing whilst you be chatting shit behind your computer so fuck you man

"I'm out. Good luck with it."
