Suburban Scum to return in 2016

Suburban Scum New Jersey hardcore band Suburban Scum has revealed that they are still a band and will "continue on" in 2016. As you may recall, the group was poised to release a new album this past summer when frontman Ryan Taylor, aka Karebear, was accused of participating in an assault of Crosscheck drummer Tom Alderson, who was hospitalized as a result. In the wake of the ensuing controversy, the band was essentially forced underground. Fast forward to yesterday and the band issued this update via Twitter:
"We are still a band and will continue on in 2016. If you don't like it, we have two words for ya. Love you."
The group has yet to address whether or not Taylor will be fronting the band, but for what it's worth, Taylor did retweet their update. UPDATE: Suburban Scum subsequently issued another statement via Facebook in which they said that their shelved Ultimate Annihilation will soon receive a proper release:
"We will be continuing on as a band in the new year. We will also be setting up a proper release for 'Ultimate Annihilation' that you will hear about in the coming months. You have the right to support who you want and we have the right to play our music. Thanks to anyone who continues to ride with us. See you in 2016."

"first 50 fans to RSVP to our comeback tour invitation will win a chance for a special back room meeting with Karebear and his uncle after the show"

Fat tough guys are stoked!

anonymous 11/21/2015 11:21:22 AM

Would love to see that fat juggalo get his terrible mustache shaved off!

anonymous 11/21/2015 11:25:25 AM

If these guys continue with their singer, I hope the hardcore community does not support this band. As usual Scott Vogel days it best: "Senseless fcking violence, competition bullshit, your killing something beautiful, when you gonna quit these games!?" I think what happened at TIHC was disgusting, fck this guy. Get a new singer or start a new band.

anonymous 11/21/2015 11:28:21 AM

I don't care about either band. But way to invite an ass whopping every city & state you play!!?

anonymous 11/21/2015 11:32:58 AM

Stoked.

anonymous 11/21/2015 11:36:55 AM

Scott Vogel also hues on bands that are bigger than him constantly so he doesn't have much cred at this point. Plus. Amanda fiore says he has a micro peen

anonymous 11/21/2015 11:39:26 AM

Crosscheck/Suburban Scum 2016 scumbag tour. For real fvck crosscheck they're scumbags just as much as karebear.

Suburban c-m

anonymous 11/21/2015 11:46:32 AM

Yes great news guys! Continue to play 2nd hand garbage punk hardcore that will never pay your bills or be worth a fcking thing in this or any known universe.

anonymous 11/21/2015 12:02:15 PM

Vogel is the modern day godfather of hardcore. His reluctance to ever even acknowledge his status for fame all but confirms it. I don't see how a man that has fronted one of the most prominent hardcore bands for the last 13 years and other great bands before that has "zee street cred"??? If you think that playing to different crowds which brings in new people to the scene is bad or makes you less or something than that makes you a hypocrite.

anonymous 11/21/2015 12:16:44 PM

People will threaten Suburban Scum with beatings, but we know the hardcore scene won't do a damn thing.

white development kids who paint a warped picture of how they grew up "hard". They are about as believable as backtracks "struggles" in the world I for one was happy not having to hear there 4th rate all out war/Merauder riffs anymore.

Corrupted Booking is gay and so is cyc. Stop wearing vests.

Keep CYC out your mouth. Next year we ain't playing around. fck you and fck your crew

fck Karebear and fck Suburban Scum. Karebear should be rotting in prison for the next year at least...plenty of microphones for him to sing into there.

anonymous 11/21/2015 6:24:16 PM

I feel like we'll be reading another lambgoat article with the headline relating to this band getting jumped in the coming months if they continue with their vocalist.

anonymous 11/21/2015 6:54:30 PM

The sad reality is HC is "run" by dudes who are all equally lowlifes w no ethics or beliefs who back each other. Stop supporting major fests and booking agents who all work together to keep jerks protected. Research who is really behind shit and dont just follow blindly.

Everyone's a fckin victim

anonymous 16 hours ago Don't care about either band. But way to invite an ass whopping every city & state you play!!? Nobody is going to beat them up. Not because they are tough guys, far from it they are fat losers, but because everyone involved in hardcore is a massive pssy

frrrrrt 11/22/2015 3:50:11 AM

lol @ each members head tilt like they have some subconscious homo erratic behavior for a photo shoot

rednaaaaaaar 11/22/2015 4:38:23 AM

This is great news! I was really looking forward to getting sucker-punched and kicked in the face in some vague 2016 timeframe. I don't know if that actually happens, but these guys are total dckwagons. Their name is also "Suburban Scum," which forces the immediate connotation in my crazy brain of "Suburban Noize" records. You know, those kind folks who brough such amazing acts like Kottonmouth Kings, (hed)pe, some other Juggaloish nonsense, but not straight up chicken-raping Juggaloishness.

anonymous 11/22/2015 4:53:05 AM

What is it with fat kids thinking they're tough? This guy is such a puss it's unreal, he needs to grow up, stop being a lazy fat fck and humble himself because nobody is impressed that you're from nj when you look like a fat Herman li

That fat fck Sean P Sullivan sucks dck on the regular. Used to post craigslist ad's all the time looking for other cubs to give him hard throbbing c-ck. That and his parents are legit hoarders. Sleeping on piles of newspaper. Seen it all first hand.

anonymous 11/22/2015 7:47:05 AM

Anyone that is butthurt or upset about this is beyond retarded. You're just going to hide in your bedroom and listen to Merauder or 100 Demons because those bands are "cool" and forget that those vocalists beat people and killed people and have been locked away. Keep hardcore tough. Take your PC/friend shit and shove it

celine 11/22/2015 9:25:33 AM

ONE THING... is for certain.... Karebear is afraid of me.

total gayg0ts. but I thought that even before the controversy.

anonymous 11/22/2015 9:57:00 AM

Ppl believe HC is a safe "community" in reality its not. There are loads of dangerous, violent ppl involved in it and many like to try and keep that under wraps. Ppl worship plenty of bands and ppl who are total garbage. Learn who's who. Who's what. Who you are supporting. Many may be bummed if they dig too deep.

celine 11/22/2015 10:12:45 AM

the only actually dangerous people in hardcore are Colin from COA and me.

Im sick of seeing all of this without knowing 1. Was there a formal investigation? 2. Is it still ongoing? 3. has/is anyone going to be charged? Everyone on here and social media cried "Justice for Tom" to make yourself look like a good person, then you all forgot. Will anyone ever get to the bottom of who is responsible?

anonymous 11/22/2015 2:09:03 PM

Blah blah blah. Karebear just slapped the dude. Who the fck is cyc? You better act right when you come to California and be careful with all that fck your crew bullshit. Fools about to fck them selves.

The only reason anyone says this band's name is because of the violence hype. Once this band wanders out of there safety net of highschool buddies; i think they will change there minds about the image they are pushing. Not to mention nobody cares about the music

SN00PY 11/22/2015 10:17:14 PM

Ask your stupid selves. Does the world really give a flying fck some skinny spoiled shit-talking arrogant taco from whiteburbanville got knocked the fck out? Ryan Taylor may be a scum from the suburbs but at least he admits it in his band's name. If anything that incident made the band even more visible in public's eye. No publicity is ever bad publicity.

SN00PY 11/22/2015 10:18:51 PM

And for those who threaten to boycott the band, at least you downloaded their newest album I bet. For those reluctant to attend their shows,so I guess none of your attendances were quantifiably potent enough to make a difference as of late. The aftermath of that beef was critiqued by a bunch of keyboard justice warriors spewing what they knew nothing about. Sure they're scheduled to return 2016 although they've never went away. Band backed hard. fck you, your politics and peewee crew.

I feel out of the loop because I don't know what the acronym CYC represents. What group of male, pseudo tough guys does this acronym stand for? What would be funny is if the Y.C. was 'youth crew' cause most who are in HxC crews are basically in their late 30's.

Originally felt bad for the rest of the band because their names would continue to be associated with "Karebear" even though they had nothing to do with that shit at TIHC. They're actively continuing to be involved with him, so they deserve what they get after that.

anonymous 12/1/2015 3:34:52 PM
