Spinnerette eyeing Baptized by Fire video

Directed by Chris Hopewell from the album, Spinnerette.

Brody Dalle former vocalist for the Australian band, The Distillers, described her new band's sound as Chinese rock, folk doom and Gaelic disco. And as a side note for M&M's fans, her favourite color is yellow. [Shakefire]

The sea backdrop and ship props fit well to the backing track. Too bad she wasn't literally on a boat sailing away, instead of singing around a beached, decrepit boat. It would have given the video a more uplifting feel which the song does well.

Izegrim eyeing Point Of No Return video

Video produced by Arno Zuidgeest from the Point Of No Return EP.

Izegrim were nominated for a metal female voice award in Belgium. The awards are sponsored by Metal Female Voice Fest, a festival that focuses on highlighting female singers in the metal genre.

Screamo chicks are few and far between in the metal world. Good idea of whoever was holding the camera to make sure that once you were finished watching the video, you will always remember her face.

Directed by Dean Spunt and Lana Kim from the album, We Bu Xuxa.

Mika Miko has a large discography, though they prefer fans to see them live. “Performing live is what you want to do as a musician,” says Jennifer Clavin[vocals]. “But without a record, you know, it’s difficult,” Jessica interjects. “People want to take that home and listen to it.” [Clashmusic]

Video feels like it came out of the heydays of punk. They were outside....

Amberian Dawn eyeing He Sleeps In A Grove

From the album, The Clouds of Northland Thunder.

After the breakup of the band Virtuocity, some of its members came together to form the Finnish band Amberian Dawn. Their search for a female lead vocalist lead them to Heidi Parviainen formerly of Iconoclear in 2006.

The story section of the video is extremely sparse. Did the rider get him?

Howling Bells eyeing Cities Burning Down

From the album, Radio Wars.

The band was formed in 2004 from the remnants of Waikiki, an Australian rock group. They are opening for Coldplay during the North American leg of the Viva La Vida tour.

Green screen is put to good use. The band members don't do much except pretend ride their motorcycles and play. Wolf...

Iwrestledabearonce eyeing You Ain't No Family

Directed by David Anthony from the album, It's All Happening!!!

"Somehow IWABO’s spastic blending of genres maintains a cohesive sound that draws in listeners from many musical worlds". [CenturyMedia]

The funniest metalcore video that has been posted so far. Starts off with a typical stage performance before turning into a dance off competition, priest selling Bibles in club music video. And the random country riff...

Yeah Yeah Yeahs eyeing Heads Will Roll

Directed by Richard Ayoade from the album, It's Blitz!

Young band Tiny Master's of Today benefited from Karen O(vocalist) and Nick Zinner's(guitarist) work on their debut album Bang Bang Boom Cake. The track Hologram World was written via email between the two camps and featured Karen O's vocals and Nick Zinner's guitar work.

Literally wild video that features a werewolf-like Michael Jackson. A dinner and show goes out of control ending in graphic fashion. We all sparkle on the inside...

Metric eyeing Sick Muse

From the album, Fantasies.

Fantasies' closing track Stadium Love was inspired by the animal kingdom. Vocalist Emily Haines saw 'bat vs. spider' written on a bulletin board in their studio which she felt exemplified the earth's fauna. From swans fighting elephants to pigs biting tigers, according to her, we are all trapped in a ridiculous Noah's Ark.

What did the tiger do?

Autumn eyeing The Heart Demands

From the album, Altitude.

Guitarist Mats van der Valk describing the band's deliberate methods to music creation, "Nowadays, you often end up with a collection of songs, some killers, some fillers. For us, every note on this album has a purpose. Every second counts, so to speak".

Not much here, performance video...

Eyes Set To Kill eyeing Heights

Directed by Chad Archibald from the album, The World Outside.

Eyes Set To Kill was the vision of sisters Alexia and Anissa Rodriguez in 2004. Alexia felt that the band was signed too quickly for their debut album Reach and that The World Outside has had time to "breathe and evolve."

Film stock getting dislodged, get used to it. At the two minute mark, is that some kind of monkey rock pose...
