"Witchy calisthenics workout meets a Robert Palmer alien massacre," is how Frank describes The Future Violents' new video.
In typically trippy 4/20 fashion, Frank Iero And The Future Violents have just unveiled an incredibly surreal new video for Medicine Square Garden.
The track is taken from last year's 4K-rated Barriers album, with the frontman calling Medicine Square Garden the record's "most important track".

"It was the cornerstone upon which the rest of the record and band was formed," he says. "If we lost the battle on that song, the rest didn’t stand a chance. Medicine Square Garden pushed the most boundaries, scratched the most itches, and terrified me far beyond any other song I had written. So when we crossed off every box in Chicago at Electrical Audio and listened back with smiles knowing we had accomplished our goals, a new objective soon emerged: Get the label to see our favourite song as a single, and let us make the video of my dreams."
Speaking of which, Frank explains, "Medicine Square Garden is not your typical single. It’s a five and a half minute attempt at answering the question, 'What if Prince wrote a Sleep song?'
"Oh, and if that’s not batshit enough for you, I already had the video in my head. So armed with crudely drawn set designs and a typed-up description of a witchy calisthenics workout meets a Robert Palmer alien massacre, I submitted my pitch to the label. This was my vision from the beginning and no-one told me I was crazy. What a world."
Never change, Frank.
