A few days ago it was sadly announced, via the bands MySpace, that their lead guitarist Colin Mee has left the band and that they are now once again a four piece band. Apparently the reasons why Colin left the band were that the tours were a “strain on his schedule” and the what [...]

New Pinback video: ‘From Nothing TO Nowhere’

I’ve been a really huge fan of Pinback, ever since their early days, when they weren’t big or anything. Time has passed and they’ve steadily grown in popularity and beards, but luckily Pinback is not one of those bands that sells out or turn overly commercial, their still playing their thing after almost 10 years [...]

Many thanks to GorillavsBear for posting this amazing cover, of Kate Bush’s smashing 1985 single “Running Up That Hill“, by Seattle based noise rock band Chromatics. Running Up That Hill was always a ’80s favorite of mine, and out of all the covers that have surfaced around the years I definitely think this is the [...]

New Interpol video: ‘Mammoth’

Thursday, August 30, 2007

When you think about how complex and mind blowing Interpol’s video for Heinrich Maneuver was, you can’t help wondering why this latest video for Mammoth is so strikingly simple. The video is all a big live show performed by Interpol on a unknown venue, as always Interpol’s energy and spirit are remarkably channeled in their [...]

WSD! is the second video shot of their second album Lose All Time, featuring all white dressed pregnant women and kids running about a spooky empty and shallow building.

New Okkervil River video: ‘Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe’

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

I’m really thrilled Austin based Okkervil River finally decided to make a video for this epic song, filled with melodic twists and aggressive choruses, off a, what seems, a clear winner so far of album of the year: Stage Names. As the video goes it’s somewhat confusing with frame-in-frame action, or TV-in-TV if you [...]
