No, not the guyliner fans’ ode to former foe Brandon Flowers, “Hatefuck” (from the upcoming Stir The Blood) is a suitably nasty piece of video mayhem. In it, the members of the Bravery come across as feedback-friendly, bondage-obsessed Joy Division fans, and if that’s not the recipe for a good night out, nothing is. Plenty gritty, thanks to overflowing bathtubs, hazmat masks and a curious lack of pants, “Hatefuck” marks the return of the Bravery in triumphant (if creepy) fashion.
