Linkin Park‘s Mike Shinoda has been heaping praise on various metal and hardcore bands in the recent months surrounding the groups latest album, “The Hunting Party“. During that time he was also throwing a few politely backhanded comments to artists such as Haim, Chvrches and more, likening some of them to “Disney commercial music.”
Chvrches vocalist Lauren Mayberry has fired back at Shinoda for his remarks, offering:
“I call bullshit a little bit on that one because it’s not a coincidence that his band has a record to sell and he mentioned several bands that people are writing about. It’s not an opinion I worry about hugely because it’s not my kind of music.”
“I don’t really like being called a corporate sellout by the man that wrote the music for the MTV VMAs.”
