Brody Dalle is awesome. In case you needed any more proof, here she is in her brilliant and messy new video for 'Don't Mess With Me'. Check it out below. 

The clip for the track from her amazing solo debut album, Diploid Love, follows from the live video for the song that was premiered on Gigwise last month - and sees the former Distillers icon steps things up a notch as she gets pelted with pills, powder, blood and cake. 

"She wanted to get messy, and that started the ball rolling," director Richard Farmer told Refinery29. "She had some early interpretations of the song when she was writing it, but we know with any great song, it can have many meanings to different people. We wanted to honor that and have symbols — objects that would not only be cool to see, but rise to the metaphorical soul of the lyrics."

He added: "I wanted to see her stand there and take on the world head on. She's a strong person, and if you have ever seen her live, she can't be knocked down — she owns it up there. Statuesque, badass, and beautiful, like a rock goddess should. I mean, come on, Brody covered in blood: visual heaven."

We agree.
