You couldn’t get a better match for the Apes‘ brawny brand of loudmouth music than a in-the-ring spar with some professional wrestlers could you? (“That’s not real wrastling!“).

This was directed yet again by Eoghan Kidney, who not content with winning awards left, right, and centre, making a video for Underworld and all the others he made this year, has just been accepted into the Werner Herzog rogue film school a place “not for the faint-hearted; it is for those who have travelled on foot, who have worked as bouncers in sex clubs and wardens in a lunatic asylum”. Good luck with that one dude. Hope it’s fruitful.
