This one is going to be hard to defend for even the most hardened Suicide Silence supporters. Let’s be real, supporting the financial burden of a band today is terrible difficult. Album sales are a thing of the past in comparison to two decades ago, so musicians are forced to come up with creating solutions like music lessons and side hustles to bridge the gap. Musicians are artistically brilliant by nature, to be certain.
But now, thanks to the generosity of the band, you can get the experience of a lifetime by paying Suicide Silence to work for them for a day. For the low price of just $150, you can get a patch, a not-lame “Suicrew” t-shirt, and even a hangout with the band to commemorate your experience. What a bargain.
It’s important to note just how lousy musicians have it financially right now. That cannot be denied. And it’s likely that the band themselves didn’t likely come up with this idea – it may have been label or management driven. But for a band that has gone from respected to reviled in the span of just one year, this probably wasn’t the best idea.
