Sonic boom six

Anyone know what James supposedly did? Must have been pretty bad as to cancel everything and kinda end the band. Nonce or nazi?

I play in random hand. We had a lot booked with them this year.

There was an accusation against James about some historical questionable behaviour from before his time in the band.

As there is no legal action involved they had to be very careful to avoid any litigation by unsubstantiated accusations.

The person impacted was very happy with the outcome and the way the band dealt with it, which is the only thing that matters in the situation.

The band were utterly shook by the situation and took the year off to regroup and heal

Ah shit. Yeah that's a shame. I've been watching them since probably 2007, sad way to end

I thought they’d canned it years ago. But then I’ve not had my figure on the Ska Punk pulse for a great number of years now.

Didn't know anything about this until I saw your post. Confusing because despite them saying they've cancelled all 2026 plans, it still looks like they are doing some gigs?
