    Look at the high res shot of their album cover. Unfortunate that they had that. More than likely they'll have to take it off the shelves.

    Talk about being unlucky.

    Hip hop crew The Coup have responded to the extraordinary similarity between their planned cover art for their album ‘Party Music’ and the attack on the World Trade Centre. In a statement, frontman Boots Riley expressed regret for the ‘uncanny similarity’ between the cover, completed in June this year, and the events of September 11. He also stated that ‘the original intent of the cover was to use the World Trade Centre to symbolise capitalism and was not supposed to be realistic in its depiction.’ Talking of the attack he explained, "all life is precious and this tremendous tragedy is by no means taken lightly by The Coup. This is a very unfortunate coincidence and my condolences go out to the families and friends of the victims." The album will be released on November 5 with completely new artwork.
