>Austin-based psychedelic prog-rock band, Dream Machine, has been dropped by Castle Face Records over anti-feminist, pro-liberty views thay they expressed in an interview for French publication Still In Rock. Castle Face co-founder John Dwyer, who once praised the band saying they were “jammed with hooks and pulsing vintage vibes but in a clever and accomplished manner”, released a public statement condemning the band solely for the views they expressed in the interview, claiming the band’s statements were “ugly.”
>One of the topics from the interview, now making waves, was immigration policy. Doris Melton [organs & vocals] said: “ICE is just doing their job and I’m glad they’re finally starting to work on deporting criminal illegal aliens too. The United States is handing out free money to people who come here illegally, but when you want to work hard to become an American citizen to start a family they make it so hard on you, and expensive.” Doris is a Bosnian who settled in the Netherlands in the 90s and now legally lives the United States. On the topic of feminism Doris also criticized “horrible feminist bands that barely know how to play their instruments”, stating that “the safe space mentality has made them weak. You see the longing for a gender supremacy under the guise of ‘equal rights.’”
>being positively surprised by this interview you're as big of an ideologue as him, good job
Ayden Richardson
What a poser
Lincoln Rogers
who give le fuck about dream machine getting fired for hurting their label with their stupid opinions go join a anti-feminist record label if you want to act like a retard in interviews oh wait they dont exist or if they do they are completely irrelevant
Daniel Butler
t. Dwyer
Julian Mitchell
suck my dick you fucking sjwHFBVPHFTRIGGEREDDDD ugly feminist bitch oh my god i hate you so much dwyer is a retard can you even read
Juan Harris
I was positively surprised because they dared to speak against the popular narrative, which might very well end your career, if you're trying to make it as an artist.
What happened to free speech then? I wouldn't fire a band because of their political views. That's called being tolerant.
How does this interview hurt Castle Face?
Joshua Cruz
because no-one wants to be associated with babbys first channer politics >you have to let me say anything i want to and still be on ur record label even if my opinions is incredibly offensive to the vast majority of everyone bc otherwise its not faiirrrrrrrr fucking ess jay dubbayoos no-one wants to tolerate you
Nathaniel Torres
What he said was barely an opinion though. It's hard to get real citizenship and a lot of seld described feminist bands don't know their instruments and are outright lame
Jaxon Reed
buy their album off bandcamp
I would if I felt like spending 10 dollars
I don't really like their music
I would spend 10 dollars on their music if I wasn't so lazy
Jose Richardson
I hate that faggot John Dwyer
Evan Kelly
if you go around being offensive then dont act surprised when people get offended if you cant see what is intentionally offensive about >“the safe space mentality has made them weak. You see the longing for a gender supremacy under the guise of ‘equal rights.’” then youre a fucking dummy. if ur that bothered about this go start an anti-feminist record label and sign dream machine and any other irrelevant bands who have 'gone against the narrative". good luck i am awaiting ur imminent success. rah rah fight the powah.
Christopher Cooper
You didn't even address what I said dude step up
Sebastian Allen
Jesus Christ you're a fucking sperglord.

Wow this is a shitty thread. Good job.

free speech means the government cant interfere with your ability to say things. not that people will tolerate you for saying hateful xenophobic and misogynistic shit.
as someone invested in promoting and distributing music its important to know who you are promoting. its not like theres a limit on good or worthy artists out there. if an artist is a bigot or abuser labels and venues should drop them and potential fans should boycott them.
Jace Scott
how was i meant to respond? what does 'barely an opinion' mean? it was barely a coherent thought. honestly i cud care less about ur opinions on politics. the victim mentality (ironically enough) you have adopted bc not everyone fully agrees with you tho is laughable. it would be one thing if he expressed his opinion in a civilized way but he was clearly being insulting to a large amount of people and for no good reason and thats why he got dropped. its not a sp00ky ess jay dubbayoo conspiracy. thanks thanks morpheus haha funny meme
Andrew Lopez
This argument about free speech happens so often. It's like when people get banned for twitter and people start ranting about how the left ran away with freedom bc of Muh Censorship. Both Twitter and their record label are mostly privately owned companies. They can do what they want with their own shit. It isn't and never will become illegal to express sentiments like that in America no matter what you say is coming.
Gavin Jackson
>it's a "leftypoltard falseflags as a poltard" episode
Charles Wright
If a band's views make them less profitable then they should be dropped, it's not rocker science
Grayson Scott
nobody knew this band before this. the controversy creates interest
Gabriel Russell
I think you'd have to be nigh-on mentally retarded to be a liberal in 2017, but it's his label and his rules desu. If I was running a label and an artist on it came out as a faggot or a tranny I'd drop them in an instant.
Jordan Cooper
Also, Castle Face is a shit label and John Dwyer hasn't out out a single even mildly interesting record in his life.

If this(meaning boycotts, being dropped from distributors, having ties with their benefactors severed etc.) happened a shitload of massively important artists across all fields would have never had the chance to achieve jack shit though. You are a culturally illiterate brainlet and all-around loser.

Xavier Morgan
I think that's fair. It's his record label, and he doesn't want to be associated with such ideas, let alone any political tyings. Frankly, I'd be embarrassed to have that band on my label, too. Free speech is fine, but they can just go find another label that wants to express that kind of sentiment. I think he did fine.
Daniel Scott
seek help, my friend. You have obvious aggression issues and a lot of problems you are dealing with by blaming on a whole half of the population you share this country with. Please, take a step back and re-evaluate who you are in this world. Is that what yourself to be?

This is actually really fucked up. Im half mexican and even i agree. Its stupid that people from europe have an opinion on this. Even if they came here theyd just be with all the yuppies thats why. They dont even have any mexican homeboys but i bet john does, no joke.

>no-one wants to tolerate you Ty for giving permission to kill you, because I don't have to tolerate you operating under your logic yes?
Luke Torres
She isn't wrong about the feminist bands.
Anyone here who spews shit about redpills/bluepills is cancer. Anyone who feels the need to align themselves with a "side" here is mindless drone who is completely incapable of thinking independently. If you need news to tell you how to think, that's truly pathetic.

I like Dwyer even more now

What's wrong with being a bootlicker? Don't kinkshame.
Jackson Nguyen
On one hand I agree with the statements. On the other, it's not like you can force a record label to associate with you. As a label head, if you know your listeners are cucks, then it wouldn't make sense to keep someone around who doesn't go along with the narrative.
Josiah Johnson
