Attila Find a Way to Make Police Even Less Likable
It’s not at all fair of me to classify the police as universally unlikable — some of my best friends are cops! — but let’s be real, 2014 was not a great year for them, PR-wise.
And thanks to Attila, 5-0’s 2015 is off to a shitty start, too: in their new video for “Hate Me,” the band members play cops, and while they don’t murder any black people, they do remind you that they’re insanely uncool at every possible turn. There’s also some icky political subtext to having a bunch of dudes dressed like police officers while performing a song about how they don’t care what people think of them. I would almost feel bad for the cops, if they didn’t have this karmic retribution coming.
Watch “Hate Me” below. It appears on Attila’s most recent release, Guilty Pleasure, which is out now on Razor & Tie. It’s fucking awful.
