tonedeaf.thebrag.com/the-smith-street-bands-wil-wagner-pens-open-letter-cancels-upcoming-tour/Wil Wagner’s an Australian musician who i’ve followed from the start of his career. He’s the lead singer and songwriter of the Smith Street Band. He makes heartfelt drunk Springsteen esque punk. In case anyone didn’t pick up on his influences, he tosses an ‘almost killed me’ into the first song on his first album. Apparently he couldn’t even speak to Craig when he came to a show, he was so starstruck. He’s one of us. He also emotionally abused his ex for years and barely apologized for it. She’s Georgia from Camp Cope, another great local band who called him out in song. I fucking hate this, i’m really bummed out. He always preached positivity and unity and all that, and inspired a ton of local bands. And he’s a piece of shit. Fuck everything.

It's painful to see flaws in people who are extremely good hearted or creative. What about this screams "good hearted" to you?

Since I moved to Melbourne, I’ve run into lots of people who know them personally, and have mutual friends with them... so it’s getting really complicated for me, and it’s galling how Wil is still popular
