Swedish house musicians ask Marco Rubio to stop using their song

http://www.sfgate.com/technology/businessinsider/article/Swedish-house-musicians-ask-Marco-Rubio-to-stop-6199297.php

At his presidential campaign kickoff rally on Monday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida) walked off the stage to the tune of "Something New" by the Swedish musical duo Axwell and Ingrosso.

However, Axwell and Ingrosso told Business Insider that Rubio did not ask to use their song and they would like him to stop.

"Axwell ^ Ingrosso didn't give their permission for this song to be used and don't want to be affiliated with a particular party during the upcoming presidential race," the band said in a statement on Tuesday....

Since being elected in 2010, Rubio has a reputation as one of the biggest hip-hop fans in Washington. His campaign did not respond to a request for comment on this story.

GOPers need to stick with their base's taste in music. May I suggest Ted Nugent's 'Jailbait.' onehandle Apr 2015 #1
Axwell and Ingrosso are EDM artists, not Hip Hop artists. The author doesn't seem to know that. LonePirate Apr 2015 #2
