Holy Roar Records Founder Alex Fitzpatrick Denies Allegations of Rape and Assault

Posted on by

In a story that has rocked the industry, Holy Roar Records founder Alex Fitzpatrick was accused last week on September 7th, by two women of rape and assault via social media posts, and since then a third woman has come forward with similar claims. Now Alex has denied the allegations against him and vowed to clear his name. “These allegations are false, and I am doing everything I can to clear my name. I immediately instructed solicitors to help me defend my name and reputation. For legal reasons, I am advised by my solicitors, at this stage, to refrain from making further comments. I have also resigned with immediate effect from my businesses to enable me to focus on clearing my name.” HehasresignbedfromHRRtofdocusonhisdefense.

Many bands have already split from the label such as Rollo Tomassi and Ithaca, who immediately took to social media and remarked they are “weighing their options”. The staff quit almost immediately as well. Other bands on the notable label include internationally acclaimed acts Conjurer, Secret Cutter, Respire, Mol, Boss Keloid, Elephant Tree, OHHMS, Slabdragger, Garganjua, Palm Reader, and many more. Holy Roar is home to several anti-fascist bands, bands led by women, and bands who have campaigned and raised monies for survivors of sexual assault. We will continue to track this story as it develops.
