The English post-punk duo shared their strong views on Twitter on Saturday (28 May).
“Harry Styles. Forced on you like KFC. Every unremarkable album release pounded into your sensory temples,” they wrote. “It’s insufferable.”

You can read The Independent’s three-star review of Spare Ribs here.
“Recorded mid-pandemic, Spare Ribs is touted as a portrait of pandemic Britain and a response to the government’s incompetent, uncaring treatment of the public as disposable meat throughout the Covid debacle. But any coherent protest gets lost in the shouting,” writes Mark Beaumont.
Their post has received mixed responses from followers, with some people agreeing with the duo and others defending Styles as “brilliant”.
