Mikey Sawyer, lead singer of post hardcore band Miss Fortune, has been arrested on charges of domestic assault and battery, forcing the band to exit the upcoming Get Real Tour.

Additionally, the band has been dropped by Sumerian Records, with CEO Ash Avildsen stating that Sumerian "does not condone domestic violence, nor
would we ever support an artist that does
".

I was actually considering attending their tour with TWA until this. Such a shame, I'd hope the band could recover from this but who knows...

Yeah, seems like this isn't really news to much of this band's fanbase. Most people hate this guy. ALOT.

well adding to these charges of domestic abuse, he recently divorced his wife (after having their first child!!!) so this band could tour with another band called close your eyes, but they kicked them off tour because they didn't like mikey's singing and his actions toward his now ex-wife.

as someone personally dealing with something related to this right now, trying to protect a friend of mine, I can offer no sympathy.

I didn't want to bash him at first without knowing anything about the story, because let's face it... that's the internet in a nutshell. I waited for more details regarding the incident, sure enough Mikey released a statement that not only dismissed the notion that it was a female, but it was also an act of self-defense. So, if that's true he got a sh*tstorm of hate for no reason.

Of course, that's if what he says is true.

Yeah I'm curious if what he's saying is true... dude definitely has had a shit reputation for a while in any case.

This is a voicemail Mikey Sawyer left for his girlfriend a while back:

Don't ask how I know this but I heard from a source close to the band that Mikey beat up a girl BEFORE this incident and Sumerian was about to drop them regardless.

Oh damn, yeah I hear from a lot of people that he's not cool. I figured it'd be better to know both sides of the story instead of assuming what happened. Sucks, I sorta like that LP.
