Architects Drummer Dan Searle Says Bands Should Go On Strike To Protest Venue Merch Cuts
Architects drummer Dan Searle is the latest musician to speak out against the unfair merch cuts that venues have been taking from bands. He tweeted the following:
[via The PRP]
Some Idiot Rushed Architects Onstage And Told Them They’re Letting Down Their Late Guitarist
During Architects’ February 17 show at the AEC Theatre In Adelaide, Australia, some idiot decided to get onstage and rush at guitarist Josh Middleton. On top of that, the audience member also took a microphone and started spouting out a bunch of nonsense including claims of the band letting down their late guitarist Tom Searle.
Vocalist Sam Carter told the crowd the following after the incident [via Metal Injection]:
“In all my fucking years of being in this fucking band and giving [you] our fucking lives, and working so fucking hard, to turn around see someone fucking run on stage and fucking run at Josh and fucking grab the mic and start shouting whatever the fuck he was shouting,” said Carter as transcribed by Metal Injection. “That is fucking insane.
This isn’t a fucking game. This is our fucking lives, and I don’t know who the fuck that person thinks they are to come up on stage and fucking try to assault Josh or do whatever they are. But the other fucking thing is when he was on the fucking floor, screaming in my fucking face, telling me to respect Tom and play some fucking old songs, I’ll tell you what – we were just playing the oldest song in the set you stupid fuck.”
He added:
“We respect Tom every single fucking day of our lives,” and point out that it’s just music and that maybe that person should rethink their priorities.
And to think that I turn around and my fucking best friend is being attacked by somebody, get the hell out of here. It’s just music.”
This is the thing that people need to understand. This shit that goes on the Internet, the way fucking people talk to each other. It can’t fucking carry on like this. It’s just fucking music. We’re just up here doing our fucking best. There’s no need for violence. There’s no need to run up here and do this shit.”
Carter also commented further via Twitter:
It’s also worth mentioning that Tom’s brother, drummer Dan Searle, was not present:

Architects’ Sam Carter: “There’s A Lot Of Gatekeeping Around Artistic Freedom”
During a recent fan Q&A with Metal Hammer, Architects’ Sam Carter opened up about gatekeeping within the metal scene. The vocalist says there tends to be “a lot of gatekeeping around artistic freedom.”
Carter said the following when asked if he agrees with recent comments Willow Smith made about rock/metal music being gatekept by “older white men”:
“Yes. For years I wanted to wear a little bit of make-up, express myself and put on a show. But I didn’t do it for ages because I was like, ‘People are gonna take the piss out of me and I don’t want that.’ And then they did. Not only were people horrible, they were using homophobic slurs as an insult.
I felt like this scene when I was growing up and when I was in school was such an inclusive scene for the outcasts. How did it become this world where it’s like, ‘You can’t do that if you’re a woman… You can’t do that if you’re gay’. Like, what the fuck? There’s a lot of gatekeeping around artistic freedom.”
