Albumaffischer för Kneecap censurerade efter avslag från Tfl

Kneecaps manager har avslöjat att affischer som marknadsförde bandets nya album 'Fenian' ändrades efter att Transport for London vägrat visa den ursprungliga designen som innehöll ordet i titeln.

Den irländska hiphop-trion släppte sitt andra album den 1 maj. Det innehåller samarbeten med Kae Tempest, Radie Peat och Fawzi, tillsammans med singlar som 'Irish Goodbye' och titelspåret. Den ursprungliga affischen visade albumets omslag, ordet 'Fenian' i fetstilta röda bokstäver samt ett citat från premiärminister Keir Starmer där han beskrev gruppen som "helt oacceptabel", blandat med flera positiva recensioner.
