Sleigh Bells release video for "Riot Rhythm"

by Ciaran Thompson

The little redheaded kid, Ian Hamrick, who gets blown away in M.I.A.’s anti-ginger video for “Born Free” is the focus for Sleigh Bells’ fan-made video for “Riot Rhythm” off their staggering debut LP Treats, released back in May.

Hamrick is portrayed in the video as a young chess champion who undergoes several training exercising in anticipation of a big match against a fat guy with an eye patch. The subtitles included make this look like creator of all things disturbing, gruesome and totally awesome Quentin Tarantino had a hand in this, however that’s not the case as Bo Mirosseni is credited as director. Unlike her last music video appearance where she is sadly removed from society, Hamrick succeeds and disposes of her challenger. Watch and see how she does it below.
