  "summary": "Stereogum reports that Wavves frontman Nathan Williams has addressed allegations made by Say Anything's Max Bemis regarding inappropriate interactions. Bemis recently canceled a series of solo concerts after a 17-year-old girl posted screenshots of sexually charged exchanges between him and Bemis on the Say Anything subreddit. Say Anything cited the need to prioritize Bemis' mental health and personal well-being as the reason for the cancellation. The allegations have surfaced just before the release of Cherry Soda, a collaborative album between Say Anything and Wavves. In response, Williams has weighed in on the situation, although specific details of his stance have not been provided by Stereogum.",
