‘Corruption’ was Directed again by Neal Walters, who has worked on the previous two Bennies clips for ‘Detroit Rock Ciggies’ and ‘Burnout City’.
Alongside The Bennies funnest clip yet is a special digital only single, which includes a new extended version of ‘Corruption’. Reaching the seven minute mark the track features The Bennies regular live DJ Snes Mega and his group Dedmedics.
