Warning: extreme and extraordinary&nbsp;cartoon violence lies ahead in Al Brown's video for Idles - his latest collaboration&nbsp;with illustrator Russell Taysom and animator Stella Belle Hex.&nbsp;Brown and his colleagues have created&nbsp;a surreal, and very brutal&nbsp;throwback to '90s arcade games, as the video for Never Fight A Man With A Perm&nbsp;portrays lead vocalist Joe Talbot battling against a series of mutated characters, whilst exploring themes of (quite literal) toxic masculinity.The acid-trip visuals slowly decay as the video progresses, creating a kaleidoscope of loud colours and glitchy overlays. Those&nbsp;familiar with Brown’s previous work with Taysom and Hex, on projects such as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=RDRhnqSfM87DQ&amp;v=RhnqSfM87DQ">Deap Vally’s 'Bring it On'</a>, will find a lot of parallels in this project. But there’s more than enough originality to elevate this to a higher level.One thing’s for sure, this video grabs your attention with both hands and doesn't&nbsp;loosen its grip until the very end.

Youth Hymns paired up with (or kidnapped, as they call it)&nbsp;illustrator and animator&nbsp;Russell Taysom to complete some&nbsp;zany&nbsp;pop-punk visuals for British rock&nbsp;outfit&nbsp;Vant&#39;s track&nbsp;Fly By Alien.The video features&nbsp;frontman Mattie Vant&nbsp;wearing bright red video&nbsp;goggles as he&nbsp;travels past meteors and onto earth where he runs into whirling pollution, tsunamis,&nbsp;volcanic eruptions and other cataclysmic phenomena.&nbsp;Illustrating&nbsp;lyrics such as&nbsp;&quot;that race is&nbsp;gonna kill itself&quot;, the video provides cartoonified examples of impending doom in the face of the global&nbsp;climate change crisis.&nbsp;

VHS-hooligans Youth Hymns, freshly signed to Partizan, have delivered this off-the-wall&nbsp;video for&nbsp;Love Buzzard&#39;s punk&nbsp;track&nbsp;Cash. With animated elements motion-tracked&nbsp;on top of SD footage, it has cartoon-headed, leather jacket-wearing thugs prowling&nbsp;graffiti&#39;d&nbsp;streets and pelting people with brightly coloured&nbsp;cash. But instead of getting wounded, their victims&nbsp;turn into what looks like greedy monsters...
