Bohrman later confirmed to Pitchfork, “We decided to fold the label.” He added that all music released on Burger would be taken off streaming, and bands would be free to rerelease their music. “My plan was to quickly begin assessing and evaluating if anything about the label could perhaps be salvaged and made into something better, then eventually hand off a functioning label to a future administration unrelated to the label’s founders or if I found that rebuilding was not possible, instead to organize and prepare the label for closure,” she told Pitchfork. Zapor-Gray said late July 21 that she would no longer be leading the label. “She tried and failed to silence us over the last two days,” the account wrote. The measures were criticized outright by fans, including which noted that Zapor-Gray owns the PR company ZG, Inc.

She also criticized the band for making a statement in support of the women coming forward against Burger, in light of Armstrong’s own “sexual abuse.” Clementine Creevy of Burger band Cherry Glazerr was one of multiple women to speak out against Buttertones members.
