Such Precious Angels

While the antics of Junkyard Carnival are of no surprise to anyone with a pulse in the music industry, fans and critics alike may be shocked to hear that the band that has captured thousands of preteen hearts, Surviving Friday, seems to be falling in with the wrong crowd indeed. When the band's bassist, Ryota Kise, began tweeting photos of himself shirtless at Junkyard Carnival's badass bassist Xanxus, many claimed it was mere male posturing and 'a bassist thing'. This reporter, ignorant of the depth of the situation at the time, agreed with the popular sentiment.

Until the South Vista Music Fest, where the following photos were taken of Junkyard Carnival's Lucifer and Surviving Friday's Ankh. The two leads were witnessed entering the punk rock band's trailer, then emerging in different clothing altogether.

[The photos picture Ankh shirtless, Luci wearing his hoodie as they head into the trailer. The next one has Luci in a white motorcycle jacket, Ankh in a red one. Her arm is over his shoulders, his arm is around her waist, her head is tipped back and from the angle it looks like there is some definite PDA happening. ...but 'different clothing altogether' appears to be a serious overstatement-- they're both still wearing the same pants.]

It is this publication's opinion that Junkyard Carnival, through seduction and subterfuge, is attempting to discourage loyal Surviving Friday fans while the band experiences its recent heavy restructuring. Vulnerable and confused, Ryota Kise and Ankh are far more susceptible to the dangerous siren call of rock music, and its wild and debaucherous lifestyle. Will these photos become more of a routine, or will CEO of Virgo Entertainment Edward Blanche talk some sense into his straying lambs before these two devils can lead them to inevitable slaughter? Meanwhile, countless teenagers wait with bated breath to see if their beloved pop tones will be replaced with heavy, dark, cacophonous noise. One can only hope that the attention this reporter is bringing to this potential threat will ward not only Kise and Ankh away from the dreaded 'Carnies', but the rest of Surviving Friday, and hopefully, the rest of Virgo Entertainment as well.

One can always count on tabloids to tell the story they want to tell without letting little things like facts get in the way.
