What's wrong with being sexy?

Irish thrashers Gama Bomb have unveiled a crime-themed mini-flick for their latest single, Give Me Leather.
Described by frontman Philly Byrne as a "perverse little song", the band found themselves in Edinburgh's whipping house Maison de Debauch for the day-long shoot, which was also inspired by the Italian ‘Giallo’ thrillers of the ’60s and ’70s.
"After 16 years in the heavy metal business we thought we’d seen it all, but some of the devices they had in there would turn your hair white!" says the vocalist. “It was fun to play around with whips and chains all day, then added a Giallo flavour because we’re all huge fans of the genre. It’s safe to say Gama Bomb doesn’t get much more sexy than this – which is really sad when you think about it.”
The band's new album, Speed Between The Lines, is set for release on October 12 on AFM Records.
