Abigail Wilson's wonderfully silly, DV-shot video for Liverpool indie band Stone - where lead singer Finlay enters a dance battle with a buffed rival - won a Best Rock Video Newcomer award at last month's UK Music Video Awards.It's a familiar Rocky-like tale of winning against the odds - set in a Croydon games emporium - and hugely entertaining due to energetic performances from band and supporting cast, within a lo-fi Noughties aesthetic.After her success a couple of years ago with her video for Modeselektor, this confirms that Abby Wilson knows her stuff when it comes to zany comedy. She handmade those 'punk rock' titles herself too.
