Metal Anarchy

During End It’s June 5 show in Toronto, ON, the band turned the crowd on a fan who was wearing a banana costume. The group called out the man for being an attention-seeker and offered to give their setlist to whoever destroyed the costume.

Vocalist Akil Godsey told the crowd the following:

“We’re just gonna address, it, do you want to this now, or later?… Banana man, what the f*ck is you doing my n*gga?”

He continued after some fans cheered:

“No, no, no, no, no, you don’t get rewarded for doing that sh*t. He wanted the attention, and now he has it.”

Bassist Pat Martin also chimed in:

“And now, everyone here has to kill you.”

Godsey added:

“And now, if you strip the banana, you get this lovely setlist. I’m just saying, he was asking for attention, now you got it.”

The concertgoers then tore the banana apart. Following, the incident the fan issued a statement:

“People have been trying to dim my sparkle my entire life. It sucks, but I’m used to it. I’ve surfered hundreds of people in this suit, all genders, all ages, safely. Especially, a lot of first timers that felt safe to approach me for their first surf.

@enditbaltmore two of your band members crossed the line…and I’m obligated to speak on it.

F*ck the police? While, policing what people wear? Take off, hoser.

The message last night; Conform or get called out, exactly the opposite of what Hardcore is supposed to be.

I was an unwilling participant, attacked and clothing removed at the direction of a band I paid to see… What would you do?”
