In a bizarre Facebook post, Fat White Family have threatened to "join Isis" unless Mac DeMarco stops making music.

Lead singer Lias Saudi took seemingly unprovoked aim at the Canadian singer last night, writing on Facebook, "Unless Mac demarco immediately withdraws from music and the public eye, me and saul will be on the first plane to Syria to join Isis. Peace be with you.[sic]"

Unless Mac demarco immediately withdraws from music and the public eye, me and saul will be on the first plane to Syria to join Isis. Peace be with you.

The band explained the diatribe a little further in the comments section, saying, "We didn't say he wasn't talented, he is more then capable of playing every single part of his soulless slacker/jock mr nice guy urban outfitters rock shite. We simply demand his immediate withdrawal from music/the public eye. This is not an attempt to appear 'alternative' or 'edgy' just a genuine point of concern. Please never contact us again, and refrain from visiting this page. Peace be with you."

Saudi then responded to various other fans' comments, telling one, "In the words of the great Martin Heidegger 'come to the lexington on friday and ill stab your face off [sic]'", and asking another if he had "ever considered dignitas?".

Fat White Family are currently recording the follow-up to their 2013 debut album Champagne Holocaust, using John Lennon's old Beatles equipment.
