Red House Painters, specifically Mark Kozelek. I think the things he was accused of were from his Sun Kil Moon days, but it still sucks. Those first couple of albums I have listened to dozens of times.
Crystal Castles and Sweet Trip also have intraband sexual assault allegations, which really sucks because then I'm a fan of both the victim and the predator.
Mellowed out over time. They all do it and it makes me sad.
Oh hey I know what this hardcore three piece needs, a symphony backed album. A rock ballad. A mandolin solo. Interpretive drums. Take something pure and water it down until it is no longer recognizable.
Give me loud riffs, simple drums, and boss lyrics pls.

Speaking out in defense of ripping crosses off churches. If you like electric wizard then listen to sleep.
Way ahead of you there, big fan of Sleep!
I saw them live. It was a slow show.
I quite enjoyed The Orion Experience, until there were allegations of the guy being creepy with underage fans.
Aaaand... unsubscribe.
I don't know about what they've done, but some of the lyrics in songs by The Offspring are pretty questionable.
"I wish I could fix you... and make you how I want you"
or there's an entire song called "she's got issues" - which is a fucking jam - where the singer is complaining about how his abused girlfriend thinks SHE'S the victim when HE'S the one who has to put up with her.
not the greatest look.
