Radiohead To DHS: ‘Also, Go Fuck Yourselves …’

February 27, 2026

In another quick, hard rebuke, Radiohead has told DHS to stop using their song, “Let Down,” in pro-ICE video ads, because it sucks, and besides, there’s no way in shit the band would have given the OK to use it.

Via Variety this morning:

Radiohead has issued a joint band statement decrying the use of the group’s song “Let Down” in a pro-ICE video, telling the U.S.’s Department of Homeland Security to “go fuck yourselves” for misappropriating the track.

A spokesperson for Radiohead said it “goes without saying it was without the band’s permission” and passed along their statement, which reads:

“We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take it down. It ain’t funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don’t get to appropriate it without a fight.
Also, go fuck yourselves… Radiohead.”

The song in question used immorally by asshole ICE:

And, of course, ‘go fuck yourselves.’

ICE-cold shitheads, or not, yet here we are once again…
