The bandage was asked to play with added acts that had "nothing to do with" their music," according to Billboard.
"We affectionate of said 'fuck you' a little bit and they array of acted like they capital us to play, but I don't anticipate they capital us to play," Vernon said. "Fuckin' bedrock 'n' cycle should not be absitively by humans that accept that job. Bedrock 'n' cycle should be the fucking humans with guitars about their backs."
Despite their skepticism, however, Bon Iver still managed to exhausted out United States, the Bandage Perry, J. Cole, Skrillex and Nicki Minaj for the Best New Artist prize.
