[Blacklabcollective] Question about Throat Slitter Playing Black Lab

[Anju Singh]

I don't think you need to apologize for your opinions.

Graham is an adult and he made choices which affected people around him and
he was aware of that. He was asked to stop or not use certain language at
fastcore fest and still did and I think that's when many people got tired
of it all. I also don't really give a fuck about pizza grind/power violence
as a joke, so I'm not interested to book those bands.

I don't see a problem with suggesting that they find different shows at
different venues with more like-minded values to play at.
