The Wrecks frontman Nick Anderson has issued an apology after making “insensitive jokes” regarding Nazis, abortions, and miscarriages during the band’s set.

You can read his full statement, below.

Footage from the show starts out with Anderson asking the crowd to take a small step back to prevent fans from getting smashed up against the barricade.

It then turns into the frontman asking those at the show to pretend one fan is pregnant, stating “later in the show I’m gonna tell you to push forward and she’s gonna have an abortion by accident.”

Another video, surfacing from the same show, shows Anderson doing the Nazi salute while fans cheered. He later says, “What you doing? No, no. Don’t you see what I’m doing you fucking Nazi fucks?”

The original video footage has since been deleted from Twitter, but screen recordings of the incident are still circulating Twitter.

Anderson later took to Twitter to issue an apology.

“I made a few insensitive jokes on stage last night. I wanna apologize to those who may have been offended. Obviously I have a very sarcastic sense of humor (shown in every video we release) and it’s never meant to hurt or offend, but last night was foolish. I’m sorry. Love y’all.”

He also added that the joke he made was taken from Bo Burnham and that his actions “did not come from a place of malice.”

no I literally stole the joke from bo burnham.

I‘m not defending my actions; I‘m defending that they did not come from a place of malice. Derogatory hate speech is disgusting & our band’s ethos is about inclusivity. I made very immature jokes that did not promote that. I’m sorry. https://t.co/piX8vw62zH — nick anderson (@WRXNickA) November 25, 2018

The scene has since started to comment on the events, stating that normalizing such gestures is a big part of the problem.

Making a room of your fans do a nazi salute, making jokes about miscarriage and segregation cannot be pinned on sarcasm. What you said was fucking disgusting and inexcusable. Fuck you and your fake apology. https://t.co/hirsZqkqJ1 — Zech Pluister (@ZechPluister) November 25, 2018

Fuck staying silent. No one can EVER make racist/misogynistic/ anti-Semitic jokes and chalk it up as “sarcasm”. Fuck that. I’m fired up. Don’t support this garbage. THIS is the problem: normalizing gestures & language that represent evil, hate & genocide. — Teddy Horansky (@tjhoransky) November 25, 2018

You’ve got to be pretty fucking stupid to make the nazi salute a “joke” on stage, normalizing a gesture widely viewed as a sign of hate after recent tragedies fueled by hate. Especially in a market that’s close enough to Pittsburgh to be affected by a radius clause. — Adam Nicholas (@adamnicholasTM) November 25, 2018

Nazi jokes and miscarriage jokes are not “sarcasm”. And not apologizing for your actions but rather pinning it on people who “may have been offended” is a non-apology. Gross https://t.co/ogGyh4NcNC — anam (@anammerch) November 25, 2018

The Wrecks are currently on tour with Badflower and Deal Casino and have an upcoming Christmas show with the Maine and All Time Low on Dec 22.
