Gossip 'didn't know about Skins theme'

>Brace Paine has said that Gossip did not give their permission for 'Standing In The Way Of Control' to be used on a trailer for Skins.

The guitarist, aka Nathan Howdeshell, told The Quietus that the band did not even know that the single featured on an advert for the E4 teen drama until after it aired.

Paine said: "That was done without our permission, by the way. Back Yard gave it to them without asking us, which was ridiculous.

"We didn't even know what the show was, then someone was like, 'Oh you're the theme songs for Skins' and we YouTubed it and were like, 'What the f**k?' It was really random."

He added: "We try to reign it in as much as possible. Being on a major label there's always a lot more offers than there was on an indie, but I guess that's just more things to turn down."
