The Black Crowes Reject Maxim's Apology

The Black Crowes have rejected Maxim’s apology of the review of their new album ‘Warpaint’ printed by the magazine.

As previously reported Maxim ran a review of the record having only heard one song from it, the single ‘Goodbye Daughters Of The Revolution’.

Writing on the band’s website their manager Pete Angelus wrote: "Maxim seems to continue in their attempt to deceive the public with their usage of the word 'entirety.'

At the most, Maxim could have only heard the one complete song that has been released to radio, before publishing their 'album review.'

It comes as no surprise that Maxim has elected to apologize to their readers now that the world has been informed of their deception; however, that is not full accountability."

In closing, Angelus said, "In my opinion, Maxim's 'apology' is self-serving damage control by failing to mention The Black Crowes.

The appropriate action from Maxim is to immediately issue a public apology to The Black Crowes for disparaging both the band and their soon to be released new album 'Warpaint' without having heard the material."

The argument rumbles on…
