The band's latest song is about the dangers of social media and they welcome the Online Safety Bill.
A band which has built its reputation on making political statements through its music has been invited to Parliament.
Pop outfit Deco, who are from Leicestershire, have been invited to talk to MPs by the shadow minister for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Alex Davies-Jones.Lead singer Max Kendall said: "The Online Safety Bill is making excellent and essential progress in protecting young people online, but we want to ask MPs to not only consider harm from negative content on social media, but also the harm of positive content.
"Being both consumers and creators of online content, we're all too aware and concerned that painting a falsely perfect picture of our lives may be damaging to the mental health of other social media users."The band's parody Party Like Boris Johnson has received thousands of views on social media and their latest song, Everybody Wants To Be Somebody Else, is about the dangers of social media.
The band will meet the shadow culture secretary on Wednesday, who plans to introduce them to other MPs and set up a more formal meeting in January."Children need to be taught and adults need to be reminded that online personas are inherently glamourised, carefully polished versions of reality.The band have appeared on BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend and one of their songs has been played on ITV's Love Island.
