Southpaw FLHC is refusing to back down as they navigate a storm of controversy surrounding allegations of racism. The band, known for their energetic punk sound, has faced backlash after drummer Harrison Linder was spotted promoting apparel from a company linked to Nazi imagery. This incident resurfaced just as they released their new album, The Standard, leading to a wave of canceled shows and withdrawn support from fellow bands.

In a passionate video statement, vocalist Daryn LaMontagne addressed the situation, challenging critics to reconsider their assumptions. He emphasized the band’s commitment to their music and community, stating, “If we were really a racist band, we would just admit it.” LaMontagne’s message resonated with fans as he highlighted their journey from obscurity to being a signed band, despite the setbacks they now face.

As rumors circulate about the band potentially being dropped by Spinefarm Records, Southpaw FLHC remains focused on their music and their fans. The band is determined to continue their fight against the allegations and keep pushing forward, proving that their passion for punk rock is stronger than any controversy.
