The xx and their record label Young Turks have responded to the Conversative Party using the group’s music without permission at a recent conference.
The label explained on Twitter that “the xx/Young Turks weren’t invited to any party, didn’t approve the use of their music at the party, and certainly don’t approve of said party”.
Last week, Labour leader Ed Miliband used Vampire Weekend’s ‘A-Punk’ and the Kings of Leon at a party conference in Manchester, though he admits they weren’t his choice – he wanted ‘A Milli’.
