Shock Horror by Dan & Julian

The View and Dan Henshaw and Julian Fletcher have enjoyed a fruitful relationship. Ever since the band burst kicking and screaming out of Dundee a couple of years ago, Dan and Julian have taken care of their visual needs – that’s every video from their platinum-selling debut Hats Off To The Buskers (when Dan and Julian were better known as core directors of collective Indica).

That campaign culminated in a tour documentary – which is also the basis for the recent video for the band’s 5 Rebeccas.

So here’s their latest collaboration, for new single Shock Horror: a good-looking and suspenseful performance video, with an undercurrent of impending violence.

Including the odd bit of piñata-torture.
