Watch Falling In Reverse Skewer Talent Shows In New Clip (NSFW)

Also starring Andy Dick, for some reason

More Falling In Reverse More Falling In Reverse

Soundwave Festival drawcards Falling In Reverse have never been strangers to having a bit of fun with their craft, a fact that has perhaps never been more obvious than in the band's new clip for recent single Just Like You, a hyper-colourful stab at the grotesque spectacle of reality talent shows.

Featuring guest spots from contemporaries such as We Are Harlot's Danny Worsnop, The Word Alive's Telle Smith, pro-wrestler Lorenzo 'The Main Event' Antonucci and, for some reason, Andy Dick, who is still apparently employable for work in front of a camera (which is probably a nice surprise if you're a fan of Andy Dick), the clip was directed by long-time Falling In Reverse collaborator Zach Merck, and commemorates the arrival of the band's new full-length and follow-up to 2013 LP Fashionably Late, also titled Just Like You.

Throughout the clip, talent show hopefuls giving it their all on fictional reality program The Choice march out and do their thing for a panel of judges that includes "Steven Tyler", "Jessie J", "Simon Cowell" and "Randy Jackson", all of whom — except for, mercifully, Jackson — are portrayed by frontman Ronnie Radke.

Be warned: it does venture into slightly NSFW territory (depending on how your office feels about breast tassels) but it's a solid clip and a bunch of fun. Check it out below.

The full record is available now via Epitaph Records, but if you want a chance to see the band do their thing in the flesh on their maiden tour of Australia, you could get along to 170 Russell in Melbourne tonight for their first sideshow, or swing past The Hi-Fi, in Sydney, on 27 February for another opportunity before Soundwave enters its second and final weekend for 2015 in Sydney and Brisbane.
