Watch PINS Play a Sticky-Floored Bar in Their New "All Hail" Video

Life on tour looks sexy from the outside, but feels weird as fuck too.

Iggy Pop isn't the easiest act to follow. His leathery chest and scraggly hair still have the power to reel in everyone from die-hard Stooges fans to people who just want a reliable insurance plan – and perhaps have one of your aunts also exclaiming at the TV that he's "rather tasty". So when Mancunian five-piece PINS cast him in their last video, for "Aggrophobe," they had a bigger plan.

And that was to make the song, and its video, one of five-part EP-cum-short film. Bad Thing is due out on 24 March on the band's own Haus of Pins label, and will be a sort of scuzzy, late night tumble through the girl-group harmonies, fuzzy guitars and observational lyrics that have come to define the band's style since they first kicked their way into our ears in 2012. This video, for single "All Hail" picks up where "Aggrophobe" left off, in a blood-red underground bar where nothing is quite as it seems and you've got to double-check you're not, in fact, in a dream.

"'All Hail' is a surreal performance," the band tell us. "We were thinking about the crossover between dreams and nightmares, real life and fantasy, day-to-day life and being on the road." Working with their friends Sarah Jenny and Olivier Richomme, they made this bleary-eyed ode to the road, grabbing your hand and dragging you into what the band call "an alternate world that exaggerates all the darkness and light. We wanted the film to be an escape, hints of honesty mixed with Lynchian horror." Watch the video in full below and channel your inner droopy-eyed barfly:
