ExtraFox Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Didn't see this on here anywhere. If this should be in Everything Else, please move it. Holy Roar Records founder Alex Fitzpatrick has been accused of sexual assault. He has denied it and resigned from Holy Roar. Staff and bands seem to be leaving too: https://www.loudersound.com/news/rolo-tomassi-lead-exodus-from-holy-roar-after-label-founder-accused-of-sexual-assault Svalbard say that Holy Roar won't be releasing their new record: https://www.kerrang.com/the-news/svalbard-will-not-be-releasing-their-new-album-on-holy-roar-records/ That said, I got my subscription copy today. Was going to enter it on Discogs and was looking around for sources for all the fun Discogs tags and came across the story. N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I think this was discussed within other threads. But not on its own. I'll leave it here as it's relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewberinger Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 yeah Respire also pulled their record from being released on Holy Roar - it's a fucking awesome record too so I hope they can find someone to put it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N8TRU Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 @gazzo is probably the most knowledgeable member to speak on it but follow Church Road Records. Palm Reader and Svalbard have joined them. Justine and Sammy are running the label, others too I believe. https://churchroadrecords.limitedrun.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Han Solo Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Having all of your staff and bands abandon you doesn't bode well. Why is it so difficult for people to like.

Their instagram said they were pulling it indefinitely I believe. I hope they go to Twelve Gauge so they can still have the connection to Deathwish. I had no fucking clue about any of this and feel kind of shitty about it honestly because I ended up getting records from the label last bandcamp Friday. A few of the transactions that I bought straight from the band's bandcamp pages (with no affiliation with holy roar on their actual pages) , ended up coming from them instead. Then there were a few straight from them AND I preordered Respire through them. Womp womp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks that the selfish grotesque behavior of one person implodes an entire label and leaves some great deserving bands in the lurch. I hope all these bands are able to find new homes and get their albums released so they can get paid. buddha4281 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzo Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Yup. Church road is helping bands out which records were good to go. Hopefully they’ll find funding and start over. But time will tell. Just happy everyone is helping Justine out atm N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elnombre91 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) They made it quite clear on their social media and mailing list that you can email them to get a refund on orders. It took a bit of time to get mine, but they did it. Obviously they're refunding people who haven't emailed them, but if they haven't gotten to you, you could have just emailed them, not everything requires a PayPal dispute.

To be fair, some people don't use social media. I don't use any of the "big three" of Twitter, Facebook, or instagram. buddha4281 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...I have Facebook with a fake nickname, a bunch of real friends and all the likes to labels and bands only, for the most part i use it to receive news about music, but the Holy Roar FB page disappeared and i dind't read anything about a refound on internet, so if you send me a cancellation email with the refound written on and i don't receive the refound after 20 days i just will start a dispute, in the past i was fucked up from a few of labels/sellers and wrote tons of messages to ask explanations, then time has passed and i wasn't able to start a dispute anymore. I don't think i'm the bad guy here..... helsabot and buddha4281 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
