[tag]Biffy Clyro[/tag] has always been notorious for their energetic and raw videos, like Semi-mental or Saturday Superhouse, but this time its a bit different. Their latest video “Machines”, the fifth single of Puzzle, is a lot slower then Biffy has accustomed us to, very static and emotional, packed with Simon Neil’s shivering and beautiful voice and acoustics. The powerful lyrics ( i would dig a thousand holes, to lay next to you) are meant to…
Some time ago we uploaded [tag]Bruce Springsteen[/tag] latest single “Radio Nowhere” and put it out for download, now the video for this awesome track has surfaced. It’s great we can get a glimpse of the E Street band in videos for a change, I honestly feel their terribly underrated. The video itself is made out of bits of big city life society (traffic, crowds, tall buildings etc) and Boss featuring E Street jamming.
Portland based experimental band Menomena are back with a new video about “the bird and the bees”, a tale of love or circle of life documentary, you’ll be the judge of that. The “Evil Bee” video has succeeded in diverging my focus entirely on the video, barely noticing the song at all, and that’s a big thumbs up for director Stefan Nadelman. Glasses of redish liquid are carries across assembly lines, until finally they reach…
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 now. “From Nothing To Nowhere” is their first video of their upcoming forth album Autumn Of The Seraphs, due 9/11;…
When you think about how complex and mind blowing [tag]Interpol[/tag]’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 live performances, in their usual impeccable suits. “Just spare me the suspense”
Billy Corgan and crew have been getting a lot of criticism since their highly publicized reunion and even more promoted new album Zeitgeist, but now Smashing Pumpkins are ready to shut all the big mouths our there with this latest thrilling and emotional video. “That’s The Way (My Love Is)” is actually the best song of Zeitgeist, a somewhat contemporary take on SP’s older work: alternative guitar riffs and drumming, orchestra violins on the background…
And if you thought the name of the band is freaky then wait till you see the video! ‘Opportunity’ is YSP! 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. Worth mentioning is Becky Ninkovic outstanding vocals on the song, pitching from dim to lowed almost immediately.
I’m really thrilled Austin based [tag]Okkervil River[/tag] 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 wish. Frontman Will Sheff enters a room number 1972 (the year his favorite poet John Berryman committed suicide), where a man…
If you found the collaboration between Chicago native [tag]Common[/tag] and English pop star [tag]Lilly Allen[/tag] a tad strange, then you’ll find the video for “Drivin’ Me Wild” even more weirder. There’s Common rapping about, in a impeccable white tux, in his limo, around the streets etc and there’s Lily Allen singing the song’s chorus in a matching white … astronaut suit. Soft beats and down tempo piano line, toped by Lily’s slow and shallow voice…
Brighton’s own Natasha Khan and her crew from Bat for Lashes have once again released a kick ass video, of hypnotic proportions: ‘What’s A Girl To Do’. The video looks like a classic horror flick intro, creepy piano lines and pulsing beats, with of course the usual BFL anomalies, like a band of mascot headed bicyclists riding behind Natasha K. and doing syncs. Director Douglas Wilson has really done a great job on capturing the…
