Fight Amp Wish You a "Happy Joyful Life" with Their Twisted New Video

Guys. I love you. Get a therapist.

Whether unleashing their bludgeoning, super-sized noise-rock assault as Fight Amputation or under the abbreviated and equally rad Fight Amp, this KILLadelphia trio’s recipe of melding distorto-oozing post-hardcore, metal and sludge-rock is holier than thou. Last June, they let loose with their Melvins-meets-Torche-meets-AmRep behemoth Constantly Off (via Brutal Panda) and just this month followed up with the “No Trace” b/w “Hide Your Teeth” 7-inch slab featuring two rippers from the same sessions courtesy of Reptilian Records.

Now the folks at Brutal Panda were kind enough to give us a peep of Fight Amp’s vid for “Happy Joyful Life,” a glorious piece of smut film-quality weird, cult-like shit that will leave you both mesmerized and creeped out.

Here, Fight Amp gave us a clue on what’s going down in the clip:

“We've always been really fascinated with the weird trail of visual history people leave behind when filming themselves, taking photos and now pumping info into social media endlessly. This video is like going down the rabbit hole of that footage, a quick look into the weird nooks and crannies of creepy home movies and infomercials that are forever left behind when they're not useful anymore to the people living their Happy Joyful Lives. A barrage of found footage that provides another fix for the ADD generation.”
