Punk is about many things, and it usually means something different to each person. For Shiny Wet Machine, is about a certain type of violence. That’s portrayed in their new video for ‘Stun Gun’, which we are giving you an exclusive look at below.
“To me, the essence of punk is violence,” explains vocalist, Sizzy Rocket. “Not harmful violence but angsty, teenage, feminine “I’m in your face and I’m gonna fuck you up” violence. So I wanted to capture that with this video by being tied up in a trunk and drinking “poisoned” kool aid.
“We shot the whole thing in a food 4 less parking lot in hollywood in about 12 hours. The security guard didn’t even care, he ended up watching and bumming cigarettes from us. Shooting videos and making content without a corporate budget is my favourite because it forces you to be creative and use your resources. And obviously as a two piece punk band from Brooklyn we don’t need much to make something reactionary.”
‘Stun Gun’ is taken from their forthcoming EP, which is due for release in the new year.
