Electro duo Justice’s new video to ‘Stress’ has caused a media storm in their native country, France. Shot by Romain-Gavras the video follows eight teen-thugs as they rampage through the city – assaulting a young woman on the Metro, pulverising a busker’s guitar, mugging an old lady, torching a car, beating a man till he’s sick…

continued...

The video has made the cover of every French newspaper and has been dubbed ‘an irresponsible piece of film-making’, but the band argue that "the video's violent – to match the music." Make up your own mind by watching the video below, then scroll down to watch a host of other stomach churning/mind mincing music video shockers.

class vid to go with a class song and justice are right there song does not sound like it should have a vid any different for that song x

This should be removed immediately. How can NME promote such actions. This video is nothing more than glamorising violence and distruction. You should be ashamed of yourselves !!!

Yep, there's a huge problems with those black kids in France, that's why they made it to the covers. But this is true story, somehow... But no wonder if we'll film some Russian specific story that particular movie would be just warm up video for the real trash...

Surprised the video's being called irresponsible. Seems more irresponsible to be in denial about all the youth violence (stabbings etc) going on at the moment. Not convinced that the video was glamourising... especially as we're spat on and knocked to the ground (or even killed) at the end. Good video.
