Trapt Hilariously Dropped Off Louder Than Life, Chris Taylor Brown Blames U.S. Authorities

Man, it’s certain been a minute since we had the likes of Trapt and their pedo-defending, Proud Boys-loving, cop-boot-licking frontman Chris Taylor Brown on the positioning, however this was too good to move up. These guys (and actually simply Brown) simply can’t steer clear of the hilarious self-owns, can they?

Again in February, when the lineup for Louder Than Life 2024 was introduced, the headline was clearly that Slayer was taking part in. But buried within the enormous listing of bands performing on the pageant this 12 months was everybody’s favourite discount basement butt rock band, Trapt. I didn’t point out it on the time as a result of that band identify is an insta-ignore for me more often than not.

When the lineup was introduced, Trapt (once more, most certainly Brown) commented saying that they hoped pageant organizers would “keep sturdy within the face of those mendacity trolls” that wished to see the band faraway from the invoice. In addition they claimed that all the unfavourable response to their inclusion within the pageant was as a consequence of social media accounts that had been “paid by the US govt indirectly.”

You’re proper, Chris. It will possibly’t merely be since you’re a loopy particular person and your band hasn’t been related since “Headstrong.”

Nicely anyway, they had been dropped yesterday together with Des Rocs, with each bands changed by Silent Planet and UnityTX. The change was amidst quite a few lineup and schedule adjustments. And whereas organizers stated they had been “unhappy” to see the bands faraway from the invoice, that didn’t cease Trapt from posting about it on Fb with — you guessed it — business conspiracy theories, blaming the mainstream media, and 0 accountability.

“Fairly certain Louder Than Life booked the band simply to advantage sign by taking us off. As you’ll be able to see the complete music business together with the largest social media firms on the earth are doing their finest to harm the band.

“Like I’ve been saying, it’s what Trapt does regardless of the therapy we get from the business and lots of promoters who had no drawback reserving the band earlier than I went public with my assist for Trump and my political/social views. It’s all in regards to the music now, has been for nicely over a 12 months, however when you disagree with the mainstream media business, of which the leisure business is a large a part of, they are going to cease at nothing to try to harm you. I’m certain all of you’ll be able to see that by now.

“Even with this therapy, trapt streaming is as much as 8 million listeners a month throughout all platforms, from 5 mil in 2020 and we love having the ability to put up such nice footage of the exhibits we’re doing throughout our social media pages. See you out on the Parental Advisory Tour with Josey Scott Band (authentic singer of Saliva) Adema Tantric and One Day Alive Could 2 to June 2. We’ll be hitting the remainder of the nation in August and once more in October and November with Smile Empty Soul.”

Usually I’d have tried to summarize that, however I figured it will be higher to simply share all the pieces they (he) spouted off. Chris even went on TikTok and Fb to play an acoustic model of his band’s new single, regardless of the fuck it’s referred to as, after which stated just about the identical factor there.

What’s actually humorous about the entire thing is the truth that loads of bands on the invoice are Trump supporters. Hell, we’re fairly certain James Hetfield’s a Republican, so there goes his principle proper out the window.

However maintain being you, Trapt and Chris Taylor Brown. Maintain being you, as a result of it’s some loopy wealthy cabal preserving your band down — not your expertise or silly on-line antics!
