Enter Shikari, also known as the only band to make it out of nu rave with their career in-tact, have dropped an animated video for their B-side track “Slipshod”.Not only is the track itself largely at odds with their recent musical output, but the hand responsible for the animation is former Ren & Stimpy animator, Peter MacAdams. That should give you an idea of what to expect before you even attempt to watch it, and yes, it is every bit as gross as it sounds. Basically, the premise is that the four lads in polo shirts go into a crap upscale restaurant (called La Snoot) and have a massive fucking cob on with everything from the carpet to the cook.
