The duo tweeted on Monday about feeling "flattered" that Lovato and her team sampled two of their tracks from their debut album Treats that released in 2010 called "Infinity Guitars" and "Riot Rhythm," but they are unhappy they were never asked if their property could be sampled.
"[W]e were not contacted," they dished, adding, "Gotta clear those."
"Stars" can be heard below.

Sleigh Bells even commented about the fan response they got Tuesday.
