It's not the first time the band have shared their political opinions, previously speaking about the mood at Glastonbury festival on the morning of this year's Brexit result.
Frontman Alex Trimble and guitarist Sam Halliday told Radio X: "It's a real disgrace. The older generation have screwed us over here.
"How many people do you know who have been studying abroad and lived in Germany or whatever for a year and had a great time? Just the thought of ourselves or our kids not getting the chance to do that..."
