Menace Beach get animated in ‘Tastes Like Medicine’ music video

Currently packing out venues on a headline tour of the UK, Menace Beach have published the music video for ‘Tastes Like Medicine.’ Produced by Pulled Apart By Horses’ Tom Hudson, the video sees the bands ferocious live show take on a new layer of energy with animated visuals and cartoon doodles.

Of the video, and working with the band, Tom Hudson explained the following:

“Menace Beach came out on the road with my band Pulled Apart By Horses on our last UK tour; I shot all the footage over that tour - catching chunks of their sets/soundchecks and just generally goofing about in the different venues. After ploughing through the footage when I returned home I started to rotoscope and animate over the top of the footage, trying to keep things frantic and spontaneous (even though animation can be pretty painstaking!). I think the trashy footage and playful animations represent the vibe of the track pretty well. My favourite bit is when the drummer, Nestor, is chopping up sausages… sorry mate!”
