The xx Slam Conservative Party Over Conference Song

October 7, 2010
The xx Slam Conservative Party Over Conference SongThe xx have criticised the the Conservative Party after they used on of the band's songs at their party conference.

In a statement, the Mercury Prize-winning band's record label said they had not granted permission for the Tories to use their music.

"Apparently David Cameron and the Tories used an XX song during their party conference," they said in a statement on Twitter.

"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."

In April, Keane hit out at the Conservative Party when they used the band's song 'Everybody's Changing' during the General Election campaign.

Last month, the Labour party selected songs by Kings Of Leon and Vampire Weekend to soundtrack their party conference.
