Senses Fail Claim Bad Omens Dropped Off Tour Due to Poster Font Size

A Feud Over Equal Treatment

Most smaller bands would be ecstatic to gain a headlining spot on a bigger band's tour, right? Not in this case. The band Bad Omens had a headlining spot on tour with Senses Fail and Amity Affliction, but dropped out just one day after the tour was released. Senses Fail posted on Twitter and claimed that Bad Omens left because they were unhappy with their font size on the tour posters. Bad Omens quickly responded this and claimed there was more to the story and they weren't "going to be another young band that gets pushed around by older bands."

In my opinion, this reaction from Bad Omens was not a good decision. Other bands will see how they act and probably won't ask to have them join their tour. When you start out, you have to respect every opportunity you get or you will be viewed negatively. Withdrawing from a tour based on a tour poster's font size is petty. Headliners are always put on tour posters in smaller font than the main act. If Bad Omens would have had a less harsh and defensive sounding response, they could have possibly redeemed themselves for their poor decision but instead, they pointed fingers at Senses Fail and a pointless feud came out of it.
