Album-Poster von Kneecap nach Ablehnung durch Transport for London zensiert

Der Manager der Band Kneecap hat enthüllt, dass Poster für das neue Album „Fenian“ verändert wurden, nachdem Transport for London die Veröffentlichung des ursprünglichen Designs mit dem Titelwort verweigert hatte.

Das irische Hip-Hop-Trio veröffentlichte sein zweites Album am 1. Mai. Es enthält Zusammenarbeiten mit Kae Tempest, Radie Peat und Fawzi sowie Singles wie „Irish Goodbye“ und den Titelsong. Das ursprüngliche Poster zeigte das Album-Cover, das Wort „Fenian“ in fetten roten Buchstaben sowie ein Zitat von Premierminister Keir Starmer, der die Gruppe als „völlig inakzeptabel“ bezeichnete, inmitten mehrerer positiver Rezensionen.
