Masked Singer controversy[edit]

In October 2019, the band claimed[12] that the TV program Masked Singer had stolen "note for note, beat for beat" their arrangement of "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish, which the Lion (Kate Ceberano) sang during the third episode.[13][14][15] The rock trio had released the cover on their YouTube channel, which also included original melodies from an unreleased original song.[14][15] The band threatened legal action and set up a GoFundMe page, receiving support from their fans.[14][15] The band did have Twitter conversation with Kate Ceberano and her producers about Halocene fans harassing her. They declared "So sorry people are still harassing you 🙁 We will find a place on the YouTube video to make it more clear. Hopefully more people will see it. So sorry you got dragged into this, that was 100% not our intention."[16]
