Primal Scream's decision to include their fiercely controversial track Bomb The Pentagon on their upcoming album, means the band face being black-listed in America, NME reported this week. The Scottish crossover rockers performed the track live last August, eerily predicting the events of September 11.

In more 9/11 fallout, foreign tourists visiting the States will be limited to 30 day trips instead of six months, as part of a security clampdown. Though EEC citizens still won't need visas, all will be grilled by immigration officials upon arrival, with particularly "tough questioning" planned for those with "vague plans" said the Daily Telegraph.

Meanwhile, Primal Scream's new single Miss Lucifer will be coming out in the UK in summer while the band play a London date at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on June 19.
