Black Dresses disband after Tik Tok harassment

Toronto experimental pop duo Black Dresses have disbanded just weeks after releasing their new album 'Peaceful As Hell', as a result of a pattern of harassment directed at band's member Devi McCallion, Stereogum reports. Her bandmate Ada Rook said in a statement that "entitled fans have been behaving in a very hurtful and frightening way towards Devi including extended invasion of privacy and harassment for some two years now, only going to further and further extremes”. McCallion was much more direct in her statement -"thanks for your support and also your repulsive parasocial stalker rage directed at hurting us”. Black Dresses' profile at Bandcamp is still active.
