Sun Kil Moon, a band including Mark Kozelek, released a track called “The War On Drugs: Suck My Cock,” and The War on Drugs has finally responded to the diss track.

TWOD frontman Adam Granduciel did an interview with Swedish music blog Songs For Whoever, and Kozelek’s track unsurprisingly got brought up in the interview.

Speaking of rivalry. Mark Kozelek. What happened there…?
− Never heard of him.
No? Okay. Then I think that’s my last…
− I mean, to be fair to that idiot, what he said in that song… I didn’t really have a problem with any of it until I heard the song. First of all, he never met us, and yet said all these things. He’s such a douche. I asked somebody if I could get his e-mail, because I wasn’t trying to start this stupid Twitter thing, I was just bummed. I went to a mutual friend who explained that he wouldn’t give out his e-mail address. So I just got an e-mail through this friend that said “Mark wants to come to the Fillmore, he will write a song called ‘War On Drugs Suck My Cock,’ you back him up on it and he gets to play ‘Beer Commercial Guitar,’ then you back him up on one of his songs, ‘Dogs,’ from his new album. And then he plays ‘Beer Commercial Guitar’ on one of your songs.”
− We were on tour and I thought “this is actually a pretty cool idea, I don’t have anything against this guy, this is cool.” So I was really excited and was gonna write him back in a couple of days, ’cause I was busy at the time. Then two days later I get an e-mail back from him, saying “the offer has expired, maybe when I get home from tour I’ll go to Starbucks and buy your record.” I was like “you’re such a fucking prick, dude.” He was such an asshole, I didn’t even say anything. Then he goes to the internet and he “challenges” us to this thing, but I was like “you fucking prick, you already said ‘No’!” He’s such a fucking child. And then the song is just idiotic, he’s just a fucking idiot. I don’t have time for idiots. I’m just pissed that he tried to make it come out like he was challenging us. I had already essentially agreed to it, and then the Starbucks comment… what the fuck, dude. Get over your fucking self.

It seems as though the feud started one-side, as many do, with Kozelek getting upset with The War On Drugs and deciding to take out his anger in a very public way. Granduciel’s response may have been no more eloquent, but he makes it clear he was never interested in being involved in a feud. You can listen to “The War On Drugs: Suck My Cock” below.
