Just a few days after the all-girl band premiered their first single, another LA-based band with the same name issued a cease-and-desist order to the actress' reps, alleging copyright infringement.
"I woke up one morning and learned from the news that our band name was literally just taken by someone else as their own," The Singles' Vincent Frederick wrote in a press release.
"It's hard to believe that any musician would do something like that to another band. The Singles has been my life for the past 16 years. We have worked so incredibly hard to make it a success," it read further.
The statement came along with their debut single 'Candy'. The song was produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek who previously worked with Johansson on her 2008 Tom Waits cover album, 'Anywhere I Lay My Head'.
