Over the weekend, an web outage within the Philippines induced a complete lot of consumers to get offended with the service supplier Converge ICT Options Inc. A minimum of a number of of these clients apparently additionally bought very offended with the good Boston hardcore band Converge — or possibly they simply bought the 2 Converges confused. After getting some offended messages, Converge — the band, not the service supplier — have clarified that they don’t seem to be, in reality, answerable for any web outages within the Philippines. A probable story.

On Fb, Converge (once more, the band) write:

Hey everybody… nonetheless only a hardcore band over right here. Covid has not pressured us to develop into an web supplier within the Philippines but, however we hope everybody over there will get their web entry again. Whilst you’re right here although click on the hyperlink to our webstore and seize your self a cool T-shirt or one thing.

This isn’t the primary time that band-name confusion has rocked Boston’s heavy-music scene. I’m certain Converge’s buddies, the previous members of post-metal titans ISIS, can sympathize.
