The Locust 'Half eaten sausage' video

This is recommended by my eldest daughter Bea.

The Locust are famous for having a synth-heavy, heavily distorted, crust punk (particularly on early releases) and noise-influenced sound, as well as a disturbing stage presence. Singer Justin Pearson has said, "I just want to change the way people look at music or maybe just destroy it in general."
The Locust have a unique stage presence. Costumed in skin-tight, full-body, white (or green) suits with large, black mesh, bug-like eye and mouth coverings, these suits help create atmosphere during their shows. Unlike most bands, which normally have the drums set up behind the other members, the four members of The Locust are all positioned in a line at the front of the stage.
Lyrically, The Locust is a scathing satire of popular mainstream US culture, homosexual culture, and US politics. Amidst the high-pitched screams and shrills of the vocals, it is nearly impossible to discern what is being said.
