Kneecap album posters censored after tfl rejection

Kneecap's manager has revealed that posters promoting the band's new album 'Fenian' were altered after Transport for London refused to display the original design featuring the title word.

The Irish hip-hop trio released their second album on May 1. It includes collaborations with Kae Tempest, Radie Peat and Fawzi, along with singles such as 'Irish Goodbye' and the title track. The original poster showed the album artwork, the word 'Fenian' in bold red letters and a quote from Prime Minister Keir Starmer describing the group as “completely intolerable” among several positive reviews.
