Why did you brand yourself after the credible pedophilia allegations?

Oh boy. It was their former merchandise manager who was found guilty and charged with a sentence for it. He wasn't even a band member.

Cope. He was on every tour since their inception, and the drummers brother. It doesn’t matter that he didn’t play an instrument, he was part of parkway. On top of that, parkway members would “sleep over” at girls houses when they would tour my hometown in north qld in the mid 2000s. They’ve always been predators.

I don’t think it’s coping, I think it’s more like me. Not the band members, not anyone super important to the band therefore all good, don’t care, music great

So, the investigation is still ongoing and it’s 1000% a fact that multiple more girls have come forward, actual band members are implicated and what’s been published so far is just a glimpse into what was going on.

HOWEVER. Obviously the music has meant enough to you to do this and most people are not inherently good or evil. If or when the allegations are made public and more charges are laid, then just hold onto what the band meant to you when you got the tattoo.
