Manchester band Cabbage have attacked The Sun, after the newspaper tipped them for success in 2017.
The five piece were among seven acts the paper championed as "the next big thing".
But the boys dismissed the tag, calling the paper "odious" and "backward".
In a tweet they told fans: "Don't buy The Sun. Don't even walk past it without burning it, or spitting on it. They try to tell you what to think."
The band, who are also on the BBC's Sound of 2017 longlist, continued: "They pay no attention to what is real.
"They exploit every single one of you and affect the way you think.
"Everyone has a member of their family or a friend affected by this awful repeated propaganda. It's a crime."
The lads from Mossley have written songs about North Korea and Donald Trump and their response to being listed by the paper went down well.
Some people were quick to congratulate Cabbage on their stance. , external

But they're not the only ones who aren't happy about being on The Sun's list.
17-year-old singer-songwriter Declan McKenna also hit out.
The teenager's recent single Isombard tackles the subject of xenophobia in the media.
Another of his tracks is all about the misrepresentation of transgender teens - two things McKenna doesn't think the newspaper cares about.
"Did they copy and paste from the BBC polls or something?" He tweeted.
