Mitt Romney has been ordered by the Silversun Pickups to stop playing their song “Panic Switch” at all of his campaign events. The attorney for the band has sent the Romney camp a cease and desist letter which haults the use of the song in the future. Here is a statement from frontman Brian Aubert.
We don’t like people going behind our backs, using our music without asking, and we don’t like the Romney campaign. […] We’re nice, approachable people. We won’t bite. Unless you’re Mitt Romney! We were very close to just letting this go because the irony was too good. While he is inadvertently playing a song that describes his whole campaign, we doubt that ‘Panic Switch’ really sends the message he intends.
