There might be a bit of internal lineup strife in Suburban Scum following the role their singer Ryan “Karebear” Taylor allegedly had in the brutal assault of Crosscheck‘s drummer, Tom Alderson. Suburban Scum issued the following statement on the matter, omitting Taylor‘s name from their closing line:
“We would like to express our deepest sympathy to Tom Alderson, his family, and his friends at this time. Although it is clear that little can change the trauma this situation has caused Tom, the people close to him, and the community at large, we would like to extend our support to Tom and his recovery. We do not condone senseless violence in our community. We are all a part of this scene because we feel passionate about this music and this culture. It is a place for people who don’t fit in to feel at home and it deeply saddens us that this situation has possibly changed that for some people.
The bottom line is this should not have happened. We can only hope that people who know Suburban Scum as a whole, know the people we are and that we are not the people we have been painted out to be in this situation.
