SWMRS‘ recent statement on the allegations of sexual misconduct made against the band’s former drummer, Joey Armstrong.In a statement shared on Instagram back in July 2020, Night – singer of LA band The Regrettes – detailed her experiences with Armstrong (son of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong) during a one-year relationship that began in mid-2017.Night said in the original message that the relationship began when she was 16, and ended “right before my 18th birthday”. Armstrong was 22-years-old during that period.“Every time we took a step sexually it was because he wanted to and made it clear by either putting my hand on his crotch, shaming me for saying I wasn’t comfortable, gaslighting me or ignoring me when I didn’t my consent,” part of Night’s post read.Earlier today, SWMRS’ Cole and Max Becker posted a video in which the former read out “an open letter to our fans”.
