Snail Mail/Speedy Ortiz
To an IP user(s) repeatedly inserting this information: which source says that Fcukers claimed to have toured with Snail Mail and Speedy Ortiz? Because the NME article you cited doesn't say that, neither in its original version nor its its corrected version:
- The original version: The bassist, keyboardist, producer and DJ was previously in Spud Cannon with drummer Scharf. The college-formed group won Vassar College’s Battle of the Bands competition, flew to Los Angeles to cut their debut record and landed a feature from actor Gary Oldman. Despite touring with Snail Mail and Speedy Ortiz after releasing their second album, Scharf refers to it as “some nimby kimby indie rock bullshit” they “grew out of”.
- The corrected version: The bassist, keyboardist, producer and DJ was previously in Spud Cannon with drummer Scharf. The college-formed group won Vassar College’s Battle of the Bands competition, flew to Los Angeles to cut their debut record and landed a feature from actor Gary Oldman. Despite opening shows for Snail Mail and Speedy Ortiz after releasing their second album, Scharf refers to his old band’s music as “some nimby kimby indie rock bullshit” they “grew out of”.
In both versions, Scharf only mentions his old band's music, which is even clearer in the corrected version. The NME article contains no wording that could be interpreted as "members of the band did say" that they toured with the mentioned artists or that "this is what members of the band stated", as you suggested. Furthermore, Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz didn't call out Fcukers in her tweet, but merely pointed out an inaccuracy in the NME article regarding the fact that Spud Cannon only opened a show for Speedy Ortiz rather than touring with them.
