Massive Attack ad 'banned on tubes'
Massive
Attack have revealed that they were banned from
advertising their new album Heligoland on the London
Underground. The Bristol group were told by Transport
For London that the record cover resembled graffiti too
closely, forcing them to redesign the artwork for
stations.
"They won't allow anything on the Tube that looks like
street art," tells Robert '3D' Del Naja. "They want us
to remove all drips and fuzz from it so it doesn't look
like it's been spray-painted, which is f**king
ridiculous. It's the most absurd censorship I've ever
seen."
Massive Attack release Heligoland this week.
