Scowl’s Kat Moss Fires Back At “Industry Plant” Accusations

Kat Moss of the Santa Cruz hardcore band Scowl has posted a lengthy message combating the idea that she and her band are “industry plants,” that often-deployed term for artists who’ve been artificially shot to stardom by behind-the-scenes machinations rather than rising to prominence organically. “I’m so sorry if I’m alienating some of you, your whole fucking culture alienates me!” Moss wrote in a tweet accompanying her message, quoting Bikini Kill’s “White Boy.” She continued, “I know I am not alone on a long list of people who have never felt good enough. I’ve chose silence many times. I choose to sing, scream, and dance my pain into the night. I choose art over violence.”
