Ed Banger have become embroiled in a row with their own fans after a photo was banned from Facebook.
One of the most prominent labels in French electro, Ed Banger have a global fan base. Using social media to keep in touch with their followers, the label recently unveiled the art work for the new Justice single on Facebook.
The problem? It featured female nudity. Some Ed Banger followers complained to Facebook, and the social network forced the label to remove the art work.
In a recent posting, the French label lashed out at those responsible for the complaints:

For some reasons, some of our “fans” complained about the nude girl on the Justice new single cover…. Facebook deleted the photo and sent me some warnings emails…
Let’s play a new game my friends, please oh please stop following us, let’s get less fans, we don’t need you here. It’s time to make a choice, if you don’t trust us, you should not waste your time with such a shitty label right ? To the other ones, those who are following us since day one, those discovering us now, let’s stay strong, ED REC is soon 9 years old, thanx to you.

Of course, the nature of the complaint has yet to be revealed. However check out the art work HERE.
Is the naked girl simply a bit of fun or evidence of increasing misogyny in dance music? Is this what Ben UFO recently described as “American Apparel-isation”?
