Direccted by Lex Halaby from the album, Killswitch Engage.
Jesse Leach, former lead singer for the band, quit via email in 2002. Howard Jones, formerly of Blood Has Been Shed, took the lead position. Later that year, drummer Tom Gomes, left to pursue other interests replaced by Justin Foley formerly of Blood Has Been Shed and Red Tide.
Hard to follow the video since the theme of the song is renewal, how come they end up where they began? And the night time driving shots seemed to be there to fill time. Running toward each other to take us further away...

This Is A Shakedown! eyeing Circles
Direceted by Bryan Porter from the album, Love Kills.
The Cleveland, Ohio based band came together in early 2008. During the course of the year, they were signed to Reversed Image Unlimited with Love Kills as their debut album.
It's great to see bands take the reigns over their own destinies and either self produce work or reach for avenues such as the 99 dollar music video system. In this case TIAS! went the free route and the final product is noteworthy. Though it is a performance video with relatively bargain basement effects, it still does its job. They say they used 21 Mac Books to shoot it, which means there was a lot of creative placement of the laptop cameras...

Sara Lov eyeing A Thousand Bees
Directed by Noah Webb from the album, Seasoned Eyes Were Beaming.
At age four, Sara was "forcibly relocated" by her father and taken to Israel where she lived for ten years. Her uncle then began the process to bring her back to the United States where she was born. Throughout the ordeal, she always saw music as her salvation.
It's fitting that the lyrics to the song center around photographs. The video was shot using stop motion, using over 4,000 photos. It's a time consuming process but the end result tends to be entertaining. Allows inanimate objects to come to life, like the dancing drawers. A freaky world where deer chase their own tails...

This Providence eyeing Letdown
Directed by Mark Staubach from the album, Who Are You Now?
The entire This Providence group cannot whistle. Who Are You Now? is also the band's third album.
Teen life, simple yet complicated...

God Forbid eyeing War Of Attrition
Directed by Ian McFarland from the album, Earthsblood.
Doc Coyle(guitarist) doesn't like shooting music videos, especially performance videos because, "you have to head bang for 10 hours in a row, fake play your songs, and you don't even know if all the work will pay off with an awesome video". Though he did like working with Ian McFarland and knows that as Dave Chappele said, "everything looks better in slow motion."
Can really feel the screams...

The Maccabees eyeing Can You Give It
Filmed by James Caddick from the album, Wall of Arms.
Wall of Arms is The Maccabees, whose name came from a random pick in the bible, second album. It was produced by Markus Darvs, who has worked with Coldplay and Bjork.
The music video, which is more of a documentary, highlights the perils of the Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling event held annually in England. The interview at the beginning brings a personal touch, urging him to win when the time comes in the latter parts of the clip. The sportsmanship and courage (craziness?) that it takes to run down that hill is commendable. Too bad you don't get much out of it...

Paper Route eyeing Carousel
Directed by Olivier Groulx from the album, Absence.
The songs on the album were not necessarily new to the band when added to the final compilation. Some were two years old and others were created before the band played their first show. [Stereosubserversion]
Can never see the band with all the washed out light around them. Were they trying to go for a ghost like feel because of the ending?

Europe eyeing Last Look At Eden
Directed by Patric Ullaeus from the album, Last Look At Eden.
The Swedish band which formed in 1979 is releasing their eighth album, Last Look At Eden. The band described it as modern rock retro rock, taking new directions but keeping a 70s vibe.
Modern stage setup yet retro camera workmanship. That's one talented DJ...

Regina Spektor eyeing Eet
From the album, Far.
A mystery person has been posing as Regina on twitter. Her record label thought it was her and the fake account even made it onto the London Times "top twitters" list. She also doesn't have a Facebook account.
The video and the song are both an interesting take on the mimicking everyone does when they forget the lyrics to a song. One word, in this case "eet," can fill an entire song that one has not quite grasped. Unlimited paper in the middle of nowhere...

The Ropes eyeing Clubs in Europe Forever
Filmed by Andi Krop and The Ropes from the EP, The Clubs in Europe Forever.
The Ropes is a two member band consisting of Shy and Top. Vocalist Sharron Shy's favorite drink is water, she writes her own songs and Sharon Shy is her real name. Multi-instrumentalist Top's eyes are blue or according to Photoshop #55717C.
Video looks like a subliminal propaganda film with the flashing words, some that you can't really catch. Peace or else, Europe dance fever...
