A fan-made video for Pop Will Eat Itself’s track “The Incredible P.W.E.I Vs. The Moral Majority / Dance of the Mad Bastards” brings new life to this chaotic classic. The video blends footage from the rare Unspoilt By Progress VHS with added visuals. The opening kinetic typography was created by Kronk, using the Cure For Sanity album sleeve as a backdrop. Released in 1990, the track kicks off the band’s Cure For Sanity album. This record marked a major shift for Pop Will Eat Itself. They moved from noisy grebo-punk toward a more sample-heavy, electronic-driven sound. “The Incredible P.W.E.I…” sets the tone with pounding beats and satirical flair. “Dance of the Mad Bastards” follows with high energy and a rebellious edge.
Formed in the mid-1980s in Stourbridge, England, Pop Will Eat Itself—often called PWEI—quickly became known for mixing punk, hip-hop, and industrial styles. Their early albums like Box Frenzy and This Is the Day…This Is the Hour…This Is This! showcased aggressive rhythms and biting wit. With Cure For Sanity, the band leaned harder into dance and electronic sounds. This evolution continued on later albums like Dos Dedos Mis Amigos in 1994. Still, Cure For Sanity remains a fan favorite for its bold experimentation.
This fan video captures the visual chaos and humor that defined PWEI. It reflects the band’s fearless mashup of pop culture, politics, and media noise. By combining vintage footage with modern animation, the video gives new fans a glimpse of the band’s live intensity and visual style. Fans of industrial rock and ’90s alt-culture will find this video a blast of nostalgia. It’s also a perfect intro for new listeners diving into PWEI’s discography. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering them, this video brings Cure For Sanity’s opening tracks into sharp, pulsing focus. It honors the band’s legacy while celebrating their unique sound.
