Human Traffic actor Danny Dyer and the daughter of Ray Winstone, Jaime, star together in the video for The Twang's latest single release, 'Two Lovers'.
The Brummie baggy rockers also feature in the short film, as drinking buddies of Dyer's character.
Video director Justin Kerrigan told XFM: "I wanted the film to be a story of a modern Sid and Nancy couple but drawing heavily on 'Mean Street' and 'Nil By Mouth'. I wanted a contrast between the gritty environment that the characters live in and the tenderness of their relationship.
"We bought Danny Dyer to do what he does best, and that is be Danny Dyer. This allowed him to totally act the boy, which is where Danny shines," he added.
"We always knew that the band were going to be in it - they are great performers on stage and we thought that the perfect role for them was to play Danny's mates in the pub. We had no argument from them when we said that they would have to have a few drinks as part of their role!"
The video chronicles Winstone's journey, departing from her home to move in with her boozing, badly behaved boyfriend, played by Dyer.
