We owe you all an apology for the delay in our transparency, we hope you can trust it was for the best. It's time y'all finally hear why we broke up, and what has more recently transpired such that we are finally opening up about this. For the sake of remaining tactful, this will be a heavily abridged account in order to simply convey the primary events responsible for shaping our decisions, and nothing more. The only intended purpose of this statement is to establish transparency as a measure of affirming community safety.

An ex of one ours (who we wish no ill will whatsoever) claimed that they were assaulted by the member they had been dating, so we initiated an accountability process with an explicit focus on healing and comfort of the victim, accountability and reform of our bandmate, and collective growth. However, we came to realize that the victim was wanting to weaponize this process to emotionally harm and manipulate us and some of our dearest friends. That is why we decided to break up. Very recently, however, we were informed by an entrusted source that our bandmate’s ex (without any provocation) has now admitted to fabricating points of their account, mainly to imply conditions which would disqualify consent as it was actively, non-coercively granted. In short, there was no lack of consent. This affirmed much of what we were afraid to conclude of the situation for fear of not providing proper support for a victim and/or endangering our community by not addressing such a serious transgression thoroughly enough. Please keep in mind that we disapprove of our situation being used to discredit those brave enough to come forward and demand accountability of their own transgressors. We are intent upon meeting them with solidarity and care.

So now that we are assured that MCP can resume without endangering anyone on stage or off, where do we go from here? Well, the bottom line here is that the three of us have missed working with each other and wish to continue doing so. That said, the band will be different. Will it sound different? No telling at the moment, but we will definitely be garnering a more intentional chemistry within our writing process than we did in the past. We will be announcing our comeback show in the next month or so. Expect more things which I refuse to set more specific expectations for at the moment. Please don’t hesitate to hit us up if you’d like anything clarified.
