Brooklyn American punks World War IX have been on the scene for a while now and their new video, ‘Thank God It’s Monday’, the follow up to their previous, ‘Have You Seen My Drugs?’ is a hilarious, ironic riot.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

‘TGIM’ is an energy filled punk rock track with a glorious tongue-in-cheek sketch-style comedic video. The song shares the same name as the comic book which chronicles the band’s misadventures – created by the band’s guitarist, Justin Melkmann. The clip follows the journey of a liquor bottle in an office, travelling from one employee to another, as they all pretend to be confiscating it – while all along keeping it for themselves. Watch around the middle of the video where you’ll see Justin’s comic making a special guest appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWorld War IX seem to be on a whole other mission to irritate some people, satisfy the old schoolers looking for something true to the core, and most of all, do it in such a quick period of time that if you love them you want more and if you hate them, they are happy they made you hate them in less than 10 minutes”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

…and they’re not wrong. At just under 2 and a half minutes long, ‘TGIM’ is hard and fast punk rock and as fun as it is riotous, and will get your fist pumping and your heart pounding!<\/p>\n
