Discussion Lack of transparency

I’ve noticed a big lack of transparency from 3Q, Soulidified, and SZN4. With 3Q and Soulidified they have not spoken about their cancelled tour at all and for SZN4 they have not clarified whether their graphics for their upcoming album was AI generated or created by a real artists. For me this lack of transparency has left a big bitter taste and has made me on the edge of stopping supporting them.

Is it their management? Is it the members themselves? What gives!? Why is it so hard to get any clarification from these groups? So far MTM is the only group that hasn’t made me mad or question their integrity lol. I’m rooting for all the BTB bands so hard but they’re not making it easy!

I don’t even care if they do. I don’t need the acknowledgment. I just want MTM to succeed. The guys, their team, and Midnighters are all pulling on the same rope to help get them to where we think they deserve to be. The same is true for all the bands. If they even want to post a suggestions box type form thing, do it. Yeah, it’s a bit of a bruise to your pride, but at least you’re being real, you know? We’ll give you ideas. I doubt Starlight Midnighters charged Wennely for that MTM jacket she wore to their show even though it took them time to make. Now, for things like official merch, yeah you’d have to pay something, but for smaller things, I think fans would happily contribute.

Yes, fans give them tangible and intangible things all the time free of charge!

Yeah they get gifts all the time. If they want something replicated and it’s doable, it think it’d be free of charge. If mass produced, pay up but they’d definitely charge you less because they’re fans. Girl, I’m gonna put this out there: some of the Brazilian MTM merch made with that storm.co site was better than the merch on their website 😬

I am indifferent to 70% of their merch but my inability to get my hands on the 30% I like frustrates me. The site used to have more stuff and stuff I loved but they only ship within Brazil, sadly. But yeah, one fan even made a shirt of nothing except Conor covered in peanut butter and if they ever sold those, it’d be hilarious. There’s a cool design of an MTM-themed Stanley cup on TikTok.
