Scarlett Johansson's Band Receives Cease and Desist Letter

On top of being one of the highest paid actresses in the world, the beautiful Scarlett Johansson has also ventured into the music industry. With one full studio album under her belt, Johansson is currently part of an all-female band consisting of Este Haim of the band Haim, Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris and Julia Haltigan. The group recently put out the song “Candy” under the name The Singles. Unfortunately, it appears another LA-based band already has that name, and they have been in the music game since 1999. The real Singles band has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Johansson’s representatives, citing trademark infringement. Vincent Frederick, The Singles frontman, seems passionately offended by the whole ordeal, saying he couldn’t “believe any musician would do something like that to another band.” He adds, “The Singles has been my life for the past 16 years. We have worked so incredibly hard to make it a success. Our band has an account on nearly all social media sites and our music is available in record shops, on iTunes, SoundCloud, and other websites. Just a simple search on Google would have revealed that ‘The Singles’ was already a band name being used by another pop/rock band – our band.” It is unclear whether the name was intentionally taken, however, the Johansson single “Candy” will appear on Dave Sitek’s Federal Prison label despite the letter.
