The Leeds Prog-Punk boys have caused quite the uproar with the release of their controversial, stomach turning new single Nerve Endings.
The videos aims to capture the nerves and anxiety to go with the lyrics of the song, and how did the Eagulls lads decide to do this? By filming the slow decay of a pig’s brain in the basement of their house!
The boys got into a fair bit of trouble when the gas man came round to read the meter only to find what he thought was a dark, sinister and quite possibly evil video being made in the basement. Unfortunately the do gooder gas man calls the police leading to the Eagulls front door being kicked in and the house searched. Luckily for punk music nobody was hurt and the lads got off free.
The video really is a gory one with plenty of maggots and brain juice to turn even the strongest of stomachs. I would rate it somewhere between the cannibalistic cook in Queens of the Stone Age’s Sick Sick Sick and the truly disturbing video to Geek Stink Breath by Green Day which feature live dental surgery of teeth being yanked out.
Video aside it’s a great song by the lads and the band are well worth checking out. It leaves plenty of promise for their upcoming album full of heavily distorted guitar riffs and proper UK punk vocals. Catch Eagulls graphic video below.
