Punknews is reporting that Erik Petersen, the frontman and founder of Philadelphia folk-punk band Mischief Brew, has passed away. The band has not released a statement regarding Petersen’s passing, but we will let you know if and when they do.
Mischief Brew was getting ready to embark on a European tour later this month, but it’s safe to assume it has been cancelled.
It goes without saying that our hearts go out to Mischief Brew. We will be keeping Erik’s friends and family in our thoughts.
Update: On July 12th, the Upper Darby Police Department’s official Twitter page reported that Petersen was missing and “may be having some emotional issues.”
Damn I wonder how he went.hopefully is was nice and easy..

Lemmy Kilminster still went on tour after he was deceased. If Erik Peterson has the balls you claim he does, then he will too.

Sadly, HollywoodLife.com can now EXCLUSIVELY confirm that Erik Petersen committed suicide. More details about this tragedy inside.
“Unfortunately, Mr. Petersen was found in Naylors Run Park a suicide victim. Found Thursday about 3:40pm,” Officer Michael Chitwood of the Upper Darby Police Department tells HollywoodLife.com. This devastating information comes just hours after it was revealed that Erik had died, leaving his family, friends, and fans heartbroken. Erik was 38 years old.
Just days before Erik was found dead, the the Upper Darby Police Department reported him missing on July 12 on their Twitter account. Along with his photo, the account tweeted that he might be suffering from “emotional issues” and that if anyone spotted him they should call 911 immediately. Sadly, Erik’s body was discovered just two days later, as Officer Chitwood revealed in the statement above.
Erik was the lead singer of the folk-punk band Mischief Brew, who performed their last show together on Friday, July 8 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The band has a show scheduled for Saturday, July 16, in Allentown, but they have yet to confirm whether or not the show will go on without Erik. Mischief Brew was also scheduled to start a European tour at the end of July, though that remains up in the air as well until the band speaks out. For now, their social media accounts remain silent.
Below is a video from Erik’s final performance on July 8, in which he joined the band Culture Shock on stage for a song:
