Trophy Eyes get called out for mosh pits and crowd surfing; respond appropriately
Australian post-hardcore band Trophy Eyes was recently criticized for encouraging mosh pits and crowd surfing during their concert in Atlanta. One attendee who was there for another band, Against The Current, felt unsafe and had to move to the sidelines. The person even reported almost having a panic attack due to the aggressive crowd.
The commenter wrote:
"First time I ever heard of you guys was the concert in Atlanta tonight and the lead singer kept encouraging mosh pits and crowd surfing, which made the majority of us, who were there for Against the Current, feel very unsafe and have to go to the sidelines, which is not fair because we were there before your crazy fans.
I almost had a panic attack. I didn't even get the chance to find out if I liked your songs because I had to keep worrying about getting kicked in the head."
A long thread ensued between the attendee and the band's fans, the band ultimately chiming in.
The group responded with a simple and straightforward:
"f*ck you"
