Following the recent news that DIIV’s next LP ‘Frog In Boiling Water’ will hit shelves on 24th May (via Fantasy Records), the New York band have now shared a performance video for new single ‘Brown Paper Bag’, featuring none other than Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst.

Having been teased as an appearance on Saturday Night Live - a stunt which apparently convinced many fans that DIIV would actually be on the show - the video sees Durst introduce the band’s performance, which is then followed by a fake advert for the insidious-sounding company ‘Soul-net’…
