If you’ve ever seen the original Mad Max movie you might recall the scene where a mechanic is tuning the vehicle that the titular Max will soon be driving. “Last of the V8s,” the mechanic purrs. Well, Headpress is not unlike that engine in a world gone mad. It’s independent, ravaged by landscape, but it motors on, one of a kind, like the last of the V8s. With Headpress you are on that journey.
