Canadian rock band Skinny Puppy has asked the American government to pay them for using their songs to torture inmates at Guantanamo Bay.

The 52-year-old rocker asserted that the band never supported those types of scenarios because they make unsettling music and can see it being used in a weird way.
But it doesn't sit right with them so they thought that it would be a good idea to make an invoice to the US government for musical services, Key added.
