Post punk provocateurs The Pop Group have collaborated with acclaimed Italian director and actress Asia Argento on the video of their first single Mad Truth from album Citizen Zombie, their first in 35 years.

"Collaborating with The Pop Group is a dream come true.  The track blew my mind: all the set-ups and symbols in the video are inspired on a subconscious level by the music and the lyrics.  I imagined a world ruled by the colourful souls of eternal children, expressing their crazy love through art, a spiritual warfare against a world populated by the living dead. The kids that appear in the video have worked also in the last movie I directed, including my daughter Anna-Lou. Between us there is a deep bond of trust and freedom.  
The same freedom I was given by the band when they chose me to direct their first single in 35 years. I am deeply grateful to have my vision entwined with MAD TRUTH for eternity." Asia Argento, 2015

“The priestess of provocation, Asia Argento is a kindred spirit in this crazy zombie world we live in, we were born to collaborate, she’s the bomb!” Mark Stewart, 2015 

Praise for Citizen Zombie:

“Lament for broken dreams and haunted dancefloors” 4/5 Mojo

“A fully plugged in reckoning with the eternal power of now” The Wire

“A glorious monstrosity of industrial dub and panicky pop” 18/20 Crack

“Citizen Zombie exists to be played loud and liberating” 4/5 ‘Album Of The Week’ Scotsman

“This thing sounds massive, front to back. The defiant and inventive British band meets the modern era head-on” NPR.org

“They paved the way for Fugazi's politicized dissonance, Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails' larger-than-life soundscapes, and the dancefloor-friendly art-rock moves of contemporary bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Liars.” Rollingstone.com 2014
