FAITHLESS CUT UP FAITHLESS have been forced to cut scenes from the promotional video for their new single 'WE COME 1'. The contentious scenes in the promo - which features Faithless rapper Maxi Jazz in a warehouse-type room impassively watching as a Reclaim The Streets style riot flashes in front of him - all involve violent clashes between party goers and the police. One of the opening shots sees a police van being pushed over by protestors, while a later scene sees mounted police attacking protestors with batons. Although there is no direct mention in the video, NME.COM understands that the cuts have been made because of allusions to the series of Anti-Capitolist marches around the world. The latest of these is scheduled to take place in London tomorrow (May 1). The video is directed by Dom & Nick, who have previously directed for The Chemical Brothers, Robbie Williams and Blur. Faithless themselves have responded to the cuts by issuing the simple statement: "Faithless support any person's right to protest, but we abhor violence." 'We Come 1' is released on June 4, followed by their third album 'Outrospective' on June 18. The band plays the V2001 festival at Chelmsford and Stafford in August. -- This message was sent through the Faithless Mailing-list.
