Australian psychedelic rock group announces it will pull its music from streaming service in protest against CEO Daniel Ek
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have joined an exodus of musicians from Spotify in protest against the music streaming site’s CEO’s links with the defence industry.
“Fuck Spotify,” the prolific Australian psychedelic rock group said in a social media post on Saturday, announcing that a new demo collection of music would only be available on Bandcamp.
In another post they said they had “just removed our music from the platform”, though some hours later much of the music was still playable on Spotify.
A spokesperson for the band told Guardian Australia their “entire catalogue will be coming down” but the process “takes time because of the different labels and distributors”.
