Allflaws Music Video Gets Banned From YouTube
Allflaws, an experimental act from Bristol, have had the video for their track ‘Metamorphosis’ banned from YouTube.
The video was considered too controversial and too explicit, with imagery of drug taking, eroticism, celebrity mockery and gun gesturing all included.
Gabriel Curran, Allflaws’ main man, commented on social media sites, defending the video, stating:
“I really don’t see why the new Allflaws video is banned. The video is a complete parody that satirizes the obvious stereo types of the commercialized music industry. It is so blatantly mocking and condemning the objectification of women, drug taking and gun posturing.”
He went on to say, “I was in no way condoning this behaviour but just trying to make people aware it. If YouTube ban my video, why don’t they also ban music videos that feature half naked girls being lewdly objectified and also music videos that feature gangster rappers waving guns and generally glorying violence. Seems like total hypocrisy to me.”
A new video for ‘Metamorphosis’, made by London film company Kurupt Media, has been co-created by Gabriel Curran himself.
Allflaws’ sound is a combination of eclectic Electronic genres that, lyrically, delves into themes of science fiction, mental illness and politics, while being built around the rapping and singing of Curran. Curran is the only official member of Allflaws as is solely responsible for the direction his music takes and all the creative decisions behind it.
