Front Porch Step dropped from PNR

2015-01-03 by truly the taylor swift of the underage viagra demographic | 30 Comments
Singer/songwriter Jake Mcelfresh, also known as Front Porch Step, has been taken off the Pure Noise Records band roster in response to multiple sexual harrassment allegations. Mcelfresh has reportedly been sending teen girls naked images and sexual statements via text message, acknowledged by a petition that started in late December that accused Mcelfresh of these crimes. The aforementioned petition asks Kevin Lyman and the Vans Warped Tour to take Front Porch Step off of the lineup to protect the lives of young teenage girls who are possibly at risk of sexual harrassment if Front Porch Step were to stay on the lineup.

That's really sad and a shame to the singer-songwriter community. I wonder how its going to be settled.

I actually liked some of his material from that album he put out not too long ago. Kinda sucks but these last couple years have definitely taught us that there are some sick fucks in the music world.

He's a piece of garbage who writes songs about how he's mad at girls for not loving him. So apparently since he's an immature shitbag who can't manipulate girls his own age, he goes after young girls.

This stuff about his allegations took a while to hit this site...

I liked his stuff, decent music, now with all this out in the open, i just can't listen to him anymore.

As if this guy is talented, the depth and competency of his lyrics are pathetic. He can't string a song together without complaining about his various failed relationships, inserting irritating cliches into his compositions and strumming pathetically on his guitar. Seriously not too surprised by this--what a scummy man.

No doubt this guy has some fucking problems, but a lot of this is obviously farce. Still deserves
a ton of the shit coming his way. Will wait and see what happens.

Disturbing to see behavior like this. If this is true, lock him the fuck away.

This is odd. This guy was building a pretty good rep for himself musically; not sure why he'd throw it away so easily.
Skeptical of the sources here.
