Sumerian Records, label home to the likes of Animals As Leaders, Born Of Osiris and more, have taken a stand against Kid Rock. In particular they spoke out against Kid Rock‘s recent pro-Donald Trump merch [see above,] which was divisive to say the least. Speaking of their own artist Bad Omens being on the bill with Kid Rock at the forthcoming ‘Northern Invasion‘ festival, the label commented:
“While we are excited to have @badomensofficial on @northerninvasion we would like to remind you that @kidrock is currently selling and promoting this tshirt [see below.] This is the epitome of closed-minded bullshit that is the opposite of rock & roll and everything our music stands against. Diversity is the beauty of life. This post is not about who you voted for.
It’s about accepting each other knowing there will be different opinions rather than generalizing and bashing millons of fellow Americans. We love California and we love Texas too. This type of hate should not be tolerated in our community. He should be playing shows with Ted Nugent, not Soundgarden and Opeth.”
