Crippled Black Phoenix Future In Doubt After Public Feud

12/22/2014
. (Classic Rock) The future of Crippled Black Phoenix is in doubt after a public spat between band members. Founding member Justin Greaves says via Facebook that he is "retiring" the CBP name and brands guitarist Karl Demata a "thief" for, Greaves says, stealing the group's name from him.

The official CBP Twitter account posted a series of tweets attacking Demata, who replied to the accusations in a lengthy post on Facebook. It's not clear who runs the CBP account, which tweeted: "Karl Demata. Coward scumbag thief." Subsequent posts include: "Sad to say, CBP is done for now. The name was stolen from me and it'll take a while to prosecute. CBP will return hopefully soon."

The CBP Facebook page and website are both currently down. The band have just wrapped up a European tour in support of their recent album White Light Generator. Read more here.
