In the age of minuscule streaming revenues, up and coming bands have to take pretty much any exposure they can get, but being tipped for big things in 2017 by The Sun just didn’t sit right with Manchester band Cabbage.

The tabloid praises the band for “singing about everyday issues with a sense of humour,” but apparently didn’t study their lyrics hard enough.

“The Sun championed us as a top tip for 2017. WHAT FUCKING MORONS,” Cabbage wrote on Twitter.

“Read into the lyrics and you’ll find how much we despise your odious, backward nationalism, Tory sucking cuntshipness.”

Having to use a text screen grab as they couldn’t fit their anger into 140 characters, the band concluded: “Don’t buy The Sun, don’t even walk past it without burning it or spitting on it.

“They try to tell you what to think and harass true visionaries [it was The Sun that went on a crusade to unmask Burial], artists and anyone who stands up to this fucking web of hate and profit.”
