Fearless Records Celebrate 25th Anniversary With A Series of Seven-Inch Records

Happy birthday Fearless Records.

The California based label are celebrating their 25th anniversary in a big way with a series of 7″ records. In an article posted by Alternative Press, Fearless President and Chief Creative Officer Jenny Reader said, “2019 is going to be wild. Not only is it shaping up to be our biggest release year yet, but it’s also Fearless’ 25th anniversary as a label. We are so incredibly excited to start unveiling all the insane things we will be doing to celebrate the label’s legacy, our incredible artists and fans.”

The seven-inch series will be honoring both past and present artists on the label. On their website, the label writes that “Each 7″ will feature two tracks from a current or alumni Fearless artist, include artwork curated by the band and be limited to only 500 copies.” The records will be released on the 25th of each month.

Plain White T’s will start off the series with Side A featuring their smash hit “Hey There Delilah” and Side B featuring “Light Up The Room”, a song from their current album Parallel Universe.

Reader said that Plain White T’s had to start the series off on the right foot. “Few bands can claim a four-times platinum, Grammy-nominated release that transcended into the fabric of pop culture. So much respect to the band and to [Fearless Founder and Chairman Emeritus] Bob [Becker] for believing in the song to allow it so much success and love. It is still magic each time they play it, and I don’t think that will ever fade.”

No word yet on what the other 11 records will have. It’s only guesses now.

Fearless started back in 1994 and began releasing music for bands like The Aquabats!, Bigwig, and Dynamite Boy in the ’90s. Since then, they have released records from people like Eve 6, Forever The Sickest Kids, Breathe Carolina, Mayday Parade, Upon This Dawning, The Killing Moon, Portugal. The Man, Alesana, Motionless In White, and The Maine. Their current roster includes Starset, August Burns Red, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me, Grayscale, Set It Off, The Word Alive, Underoath, The Plot In You, Real Friends, and Pierce The Veil.

The label also launched a Spotify playlist featuring some of the best songs they’ve released in the past 25 years. Bands like Movements, Wage War, Every Avenue, Let’s Get It, So They Say, My Enemies & I, A Static Lullaby, Gatsbys American Dream, I Prevail, and Amely, appear. 

Blood On The Dance Floor’s Dahvie Vanity Accused Of Sexual Assault And Being A Pedophile

This isn’t brand new news, but people are once again bringing it to light.

Years ago, Dahvie Vanity, real name Jesus David Torres, used his fame as a musician to try and get his way with woman as young as 14. News of this isn’t brand new, but MetalSucks posted a lengthly article that has so much information that you should probably read. Alternative Press and MetalInjection also reported on MetalSucks’ article.

Some of the things Vanity has done include calling a tenth-grade girl “My Little School Girl” when he was 27 at the time, forcing himself in and on a 14-year-old girl, grabbing a girl named Shae’s mom’s breasts after pouring a drink all over the mother’s shirt, and a whole bunch of sick shit that you can read in the article.

Jeffree Star, a well-known cosmetics creator and former musician, toured with BOTDF in 2012 and spoke heavily about Vanity’s questionable behavior. “I NO longer support @botdfmusic an how disgusting Dahvie is,” Star said in a tweet MetalSucks posted in their article. “Touching children an enjoying the attention is evil. FUCK OFF sicko.” He also wrote that “Being on tour with that child fucker has made me see the truth. I regret ever doing a song with that pig.” Star appeared on four songs with BOTDF such as “Sexting”, “Inject Me Sweetly”, “DUI”, and “Poison Apple”.

These are Jeffree Star’s tweets MetalSucks posted in their article.

In somewhat of a response to MetalSucks’ article, Vanity posted a picture of him wearing way too much makeup and holding a Martin acoustic guitar saying, “People hate when their words can no longer get to you. When you’re unbothered & enjoying your life to the fullest capacity. Never worry about them, and always focus on you. ❤️ Enjoy life!”

Blood On The Dance Floor first formed in 2006 and have released nine albums, their newest one being 2018’s Haunted. BOTDF’s second vocalist Jayy Von Monroe left the band in 2016, causing the band to break up. The band did reform a year later with Vanity’s girlfriend Fallon Vendetta taking over Jayy’s role. BOTDF have toured with bands like brokeNCYDE, New Years Day, The Bunny The Bear, Let’s Get It, and William Control (a side project of Aiden’s William Francis, who’s also accused of abuse), and have played the Vans Warped Tour in 2011 and 2012.

No charges have been brought up on Vanity.
