Uncut

Chase Coy touring in support of his new album out this April, brought on the band School Boy Humor for a short stint which kicked off in Long Island last Wednesday. The band was put on a considerably early slot, though their draw was large and a big name on the bill. Difficulties escalated from day one when SBH played a cover of “California Love” which was a song they collaborated with artist Jeffree Star on. This rendition included some original lyrics from Jeffree which made use of the word “mother f*cker”, a word Chase Coy was not comfortable with being used on his tour. 

Still during the set, Coy contacted management to inform them they were on a Christian tour and that language would not be deemed appropriate. At no time prior was the band informed they were on a Christian tour, Coy himself is known as an Indie recording artist, not a Christian one. From this point on, the tone was set that SBH was on thin ice, and sure enough three days later after a show in Freehold, NJ Coy decided to get School Boy Humor thrown off the tour. This was a show they had a huge draw at and were a major contributor to the tour. After the show, members Anthony Evans and Phil Evans were even performing acoustic songs for fans outside of their van. More trouble for the band erupted when bassist Ryan Bennett allowed a group of friends to hang out in their van. While I was a personal spectator and can assure that nothing illegal occurred in any shape or form with these girls, the Coy campaign accused the band of getting minors high, which came from no source but his own imagination. If this were true we would be dealing with angry mothers, not a self empowered Christian artist.

On both twitter and his facebook page Chase Coy stated School Boy Humor would not be on the rest of the tour, but it would continue to hit every city. An uproar of fans voiced their angry opinions at this sudden change with no certain cause. Allegedly Coy came up with the fabrication that SBH had experienced van trouble and were forced to drop out, which was not the case. Later that day all the comments of SBH fans in were deleted by Coy from his page. After having to miss the show in Allentown PA, March 6th because of the discrepancy SBH made their attempt to return to the tour today in Virginia. Their attempt was shut down not by Coy himself but through his management, which is the only way he seems to settle his affairs. School Boy Humor then arranged a free show and form of boycott from Chase Coy in front of a Chipotle next door where loyal fans came to support them in the feud. Since then the internet has been blowing off on either side in a battle of opinions and loyalties. Coy posted to his FB wall, “Don’t be so quick to judge when you don’t have all the facts.” Here ladies and gentlemen are the facts, judge them as you will. 

School Boy Humor are from Arkansas, and are now stranded thousands of miles from home with no compensation from the tour.
