We’re a bit behind with the news, but always knew BRMC were a great band. We applaud them once again.
10th July 2025, it was brought to the band’s attention that Homeland Security were improperly using their version of the song ‘God’s Gonna Cut You Down’ in one of their propaganda videos.
They have ordered a Cease and Desist to DHS for the use of this song, and asked that they immediately pull down the video.
The have issued the following statement via their social media channels, including Instagram, Facebook, and X:
To: U.S. Department of Homeland Security
From: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
It has come to our attention that the Department of Homeland Security is improperly using our recording of “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” in your latest propaganda video. It’s obvious that you don’t respect Copyright Law and Artist Rights any more than you respect Habeas Corpus and Due Process rights, not to mention the separation of Church and State per the US Constitution.
For the record, we hereby order DHS to cease and desist the use of our recording and demand that you immediately pull down your video.
Oh, and go f… yourselves,
-BRMC
