Punk Fought the Law and... (Magazine article)
Blood Pact is a post-hardcore punk band from Sacramento, California. Two members are originally from Las Vegas, Nevada (frontman and drummer), leaving the bassist; who's originally from Salt Lake City, Utah. The band consists of lead guitarist and vocalist Lars Vargas (middle), bassist/background vocals Matthew Irons (right) and, drummer Johnathan Morris (left.)

FELIX ALEXANDER VS LARS VARGAS
And of course, those who know about Blood Pact, definitely know about The Cursed - who in my opinion, need no introductions whatsoever. Both bands are fairly known within the surrounding boundaries of their city, but of course; there's always the good ol' feud on who's better than who. Then we have the bands verbally (and physically at times) attacking each other - throwing fire to the flame. But, we're all humans, and we love the juicy drama between our punk rockers in the underground scene. It wouldn't be such an exciting scene if it didn't have it's raunchy and out of control moments.
In late 2010, lead singer of Blood Pact decided to throw a little jab at the band, directly calling out the members of The Cursed; specifically their lead singer, fearlessly calling him "cauliflower d*ck," in respects to the frontman's promiscuous behavior with the fan girls. In which Felix Alexander had replied with his honest opinion on the comment and ended it with a "Whoever is talking smack could suck my d*ck. Plain and simple. Have a problem? Y'know where to find me."
This sparked a bigger problem with the two; leading Lars to write a letter on his personal blog to Felix, apologizing for everything... not really; this blog post was meaner than ever!
"You say that I'm f***ing jealous? That I'm not as good-looking as you? Ha, you make me f***ing laugh. I get the girls you wish you could f***ing get. And thanks for the offer, but I'm good. I wouldn't want your d*ck anywhere near me. I'll leave the d*ck sucking to your band mates - you're so big to talk; why don't YOU come find ME instead? No? Then shut the f*** up.
XO L.V."
And of course, the frontman of The Cursed wasn't taking that sh*t - he immediately took some action, and followed Lars' orders. That very night Felix was arrested for slamming Lars' head into a wooden counter and released the next day on a $500 bail. A new video was posted on his youtube channel, addressing the problem to the fans and sending another message to the opposing lead singer:
"I never thought this sh*t would escalate to this... but... now I can see it... you want a f***in' battle? Then it's on, motherf***er. That chick you were kissing on last night - yeah, I f***ed her before you did. So tell me... how does my d*ck taste? Must've been pretty rad... you might as well get used to it. Keep it up, faggot. I broke your f***in' face once, I'll do it again. I ain't scared to face you. A storm is coming, and you can't stop it."
Here's where the trouble starts. Many fans took Lars' side, (some fans continued to like both bands, despite the drama - a high five to them!) but many fans also stayed loyal to Felix and started bitching at Blood Pact fans and the band alike - and vice versa for those who took Lars' side.
Now there's this whole team Felix and team Lars sh*t between the fans (sounds like twilight to me.) What do you fans have to say about this ongoing situation? I mean, both bands are greatly talented - and no one could deny that.
Would this feud ever cease? Would it only escalate?
Are you guys on team Felix? Or team Lars?
I personally think that we should all just stop the hate. Whatever happens between the bands shouldn't really be our problem. Music is music! And if both bands are great - why hate on either of them?
