Here’s a new band from Vancouver, Canada who will be hitting our shores soon with the mighty NoMeansNo. Take a bunch of blues, rock and roll and some booze and you will be close to the vibes of The Pack a.d. Smell the glove people as sometimes the aroma can be super sweet.

Gorillaz have released a music video for Stylo, the first single to be taken from hugely anticipated third album Plastic Beach.

The video follows the animated stars driving through the desert as they become involved in a high speed chase. Hollywood star Bruce Willis cameos, looking effortlessly cool as ever. Yippee Ki Yay.

Check out the video here.
