It was originally reported that Home Secretary Theresa May walked offstage to Primal Scream track 'Rocks' at a party conference, after which the group said that they were "disgusted" that she had used their music despite having different political beliefs.
It then emerged that the song used was actually The Dandy Warhols's 'Bohemian Like You', which caused frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor to launch a tirade of his own.
Taylor-Taylor wrote on the band's official website: "WTF? Where do I bitch about this? I'll tear their fuggin heads off. Well maybe not but this happened to us in an Arkansas gubernatorial race and it makes me super angry. And then I wanna puke.
"Why don't these assholes have right-wing bands make them some right-wing music for their right-wing jerkoff politics? Oh, because right-wing people aren't creative, visionary or any fun to be around. Nor are they productive or even introspective about it. Wait, I live in Portland, Oregon… neither are left-wingers come to think of it."
Taylor-Taylor continued: "Jesus, I tend to really dislike ANY people who take sides in politics. It is the single greatest contributor to getting nothing done. F**k 'politics'. What a joke.
"I give my charitable donations to people who get on a plane themselves and go to Haiti or Africa and help other people. Do you? NEVER to a political machine. I like to get s**t done. You do too. F**k, now I'm p*ssed off."
