Strange that I can't find anything about it online anymore. I swear I read once that Snowden used ATR as a cover by travelling with them, or had a song of theirs play as a signal to a Wikileaks contact when making a drop of leaked data or something along those lines. Pretty sure Snowden has stated he liked the band a lot too but can't find that either.
All I found was that their album Reset was based of Snowden's revelations. I want to believe there is more to it than that, but I admit I may be wrong. My mind may have fabricated this info, it hasn't been the first time but it doesn't feel like that, I'm fairly certain I read about a connection before.
More likely, the article I read has been purged from the internet or is being blacklisted from search engines, which I'm sure sounds like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, so easily could be true these days.
