Falling in Reverse Burn Themselves With Pyrotechni…

Singer, songwriter, producer, rapper, transphobic bigot, convicted felon, and all around toolbag Ronnie Radke and his band Falling in Reverse are back in the news again after their appearance at the 2024 Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival on Friday. The first reason is because, as Lambgoat reports, the band had to stop their set on Friday night multiple times because they managed to burn themselves with their own pyrotechnics display. Rock Feed posted a video to their Twitter account with the band members apologizing for the multiple stoppages while nursing their burns with bandages and ice packs.

If that was the entire story, it would be mildly amusing, but there were more Radke antics going on at the festival. Earlier this year, Radke had a feud going with Devin Swank of Sanguisugabogg on social media in which they seemed to indicate there would be a confrontation between them at Sonic Temple. Swank got tired of the feud and deleted all the tweets, telling Radke that he was over it, but Radke wasn’t willing to drop it and continued to insist that Swank apologize for calling him a rapist in reference to a 2015 rape allegation made against Radke.

Radke proceeded to treat the entire Sonic Temple festival like it was a schoolyard, as he continued to post a series of tweets with pictures of him at various locations at the festival inviting Swank to come fight him. Swank seems to have ignored all of them. While Radke certainly wanted to make himself look tough, he came off looking sad more than anything. He tried his hardest to piss off Swank with a bunch of jokes about Swank’s height, but the only sick burn that day came from that pyrotechnics display.
