Chvrches’ Lauren Mayberry and Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta clash over Deftones' Día De Los lineup

Yesterday (30 July), Jamey Jasta took to Twitter to rant about how Chvrches were higher than Gojira in the Día De Los festival lineup. He wrote, "Who is churches with a v and why the fuck are they playing over Gojira get tha fuuuuuck outtta here have you ever heard The Heaviest Matter In The Universe you’re gonna get embarrassed off the stage lol no offense. God the music industry suckkkkks sometimes."

Later, the Hatebreed vocalist wrote, "I’m sure they’re lovely people and a popular group, I don’t agree with the line up order, same w/ other festivals, if anyone is butt hurt about my opinion wait til you hear the podcast! Metal needs to be shown more respect. Longer career, legacy, more albums, bill em higher."

Chvrches vocalist Lauren Mayberry soon replied to Jasta's comments, writing, "Deftones curated the lineup so I don’t know how that speaks to problems with The Music Industry. I think it’s important and powerful that they promote the idea of a diverse community and try to bridge gaps instead of being guided by limiting, antiquated ideas about genre."

In a separate tweet, Mayberry added a Rihanna gif, and wrote to Jasta, "I saw Gojira in Glasgow years ago and have seen Deftones three times so was excited when we got asked to be on the bill. Just because someone plays or listens to "pop music" doesn’t mean they don’t understand or appreciate other things."

Adding to his earlier comment, Jasta replied to a fan, "some folks don’t like facts &/or they twist what I say, whatever. Diverse lineups are great but whoever u are, if your agent power moves u above a crusher, good luck! I remember (band I wont name) somehow got to play after FFDP in AZ, it was a BAD lol. Hasn’t happened since."

It's not the first time Mayberry has had to defend Chvrches online. They voiced their disappointment at finding out Marshmello had collaborated with Chris Brown and Tyga, leading to Chris Brown firing back with, "these are the type of people I wish walked in front of a speeding bus full of mental patients."
