Video: Bloodbags - Talking Apes (UTR Premiere)

Auckland rock 'n' roll rascals Bloodbags have unleashed a hazy new clip for their single 'Talking Apes', coming out this weekend as a 7-inch release with 'Glass Eye' on the flip. The foursome, which is made up of Andrew Tolley (The Hasselhoff Experiment, Bloody Souls) and Cameron Rowe (Bloody Souls) along with Sam Ralston and Matt Rapley (both of The Admiral), have been slaying at local shows for the last three years, however the vinyl release has been a long time in the works. But Tolley reckons the group have more tracks up their proverbial sleeves: "Hopefully this will start a flow of releases for us, as we're sitting on a pile of tunes, maybe about 20 to be refined, dismantled, stretched, crushed, wreckorded, mangled and presented to the swathe of indifferent hipsters and quality minded cavedwellers out there in the nz geetar mauling appreciating ether".

The clip that come with the release of 'Talking Apes' was directed by Ian Brown of Dad Jokes, and shot by Eddy Fifield across a couple of Auckland city's most notorious haunts. Take a look below...
