violence
In a promotional shoot, a band member makes a gun shape with his hand and his bandmates comically pretend to fall to the ground. There are undetailed verbal references to the horrors of the First World War. These are accompanied by stylised images representing blood. Slapstick scenes from a black and white silent film feature objects falling onto a person.
threat and horror
A brief clip is shown from the 1968 film, 'Night of the Living Dead', in which a zombie grabs at a woman. The clip is used to illustrate the name of the band.
language
There is infrequent strong language ('f**k'), as well as use of the middle finger gesture. Milder bad language includes uses of 'arse', 'bloody', 'hell' and 'God'
sex
Couples kiss and references are made to using music and concerts to find partners. There is a very brief reference to a 'threesome' in a newspaper headline but with no further detail, as well as a comic suggestion that a man and woman were having an affair.
theme
Undetailed references are made to illness, death and bereavement, as well as to a person's depression. There are comic verbal references to a false story that a band member died in a car crash.
alcohol and smoking
Adults drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. There are comic verbal references to being drunk.
