Punk band Zex dropped from label just days after Beyoncé vinyl mixup
As reported by Pitchfork, Canadian punk band Zex has been dropped from its label, Magic Bullet Records, over some sexual assault allegations that have been brought up against guitarist Jo Capitalcide. In a statement posted on the label’s website, it explains that it received emails about Capitalcide’s alleged history of assault recently and was able to corroborate some details after talking to Zex singer Gretchen Steel (who is in a relationship with Capitalcide). Because of that, Magic Bullet has decided to immediately drop Zex. The statement goes on to say that it will be making donations to RAINN and Cornerstone Housing For Women in Ontario, and it will be offering refunds to anyone who bought Zex’s most recent album.
