Original Story:

SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk has taken to social media to call out Santa Cruz for allegedly using pre-recorded tracks during their April 6 show at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, CA. You can find various posts from him below, along with some fan-filmed footage from the concert that shows frontman Archie Cruz stepping away from the microphone as vocals continue to play.

I have long railed against the epidemic of bands using tracks live. And how fans & promoters just accept “live” acts & paying to see a band “live” and it’s anything but. This is how bad it’s become. Everyone okay with this?! Unreal! https://t.co/EHp6zW57i4 v

Because you are a REAL artist! Thx to all who deliver truly live & put the work in to do so. Appreciated it now more than ever w/what’s going on out there & how many turn a blind eye to it! And “everyone is doing it”is NOT an excuse.Because everyone isn’t! https://t.co/apcWVpqXnb

Very close to starting my own band.And I can’t sing or play.But if everyone is okay spending hard earned money to see a band play “live” & instead hear a computer then why not? Guess it doesn’t matter? Plenty of bands I can open for sadly doing the same thing pic.twitter.com/wAj1GLLJpa
