Directed by Marc Ricciardelli from the album, Years (by One Thousand Fingertips).
An alternate universe where childhood games can lead to painful conclusions. And also a place where the street corner based food cart serves food on par with 5 star restaurants, though in a stomach turning form. The final destination franchise would love to have this director on hand, a blade in an apple?(Most likely a phrase that went over my head but still gruesome to depict)

Friendly Fires eyeing Kiss of Life video
Directed by Chris Cottam from the album, Friendly Fires(re-release version).
According to a UGO interview, the band's first performance at a birthday party was shut down and they were replaced by a DJ.
Vibrant music video that reflects the theme present in the backing track. The dancing procession behind Macfarlane draw the eye with their colored outfits versus the dull colors the band wears, reverse for most videos. Maybe the costume designer was asked to do so to keep us from watching Macfarlane dance(try?) He does pretty well, with the strange shimmy he does at the three minute mark one of a couple exceptions. Simple clip that does what it needed to do, nothing more can be asked.

Bowling For Soup eyeing My Wena video
From the album, Sorry for Partyin'.
Jaret Reddick(vocals) is part of comedy troupe called Fourth Wall Comedy. Fans can see him and the group out of their base in Denton, Texas.
Wow, this video is just, wow... For some reason I didn't notice the title of the song and after the first couple seconds, it clicked. A self gratuitous song about the male member that I'm surprised I've never come across. Who would've known that Wena likes fish tacos? All in all, hilarious clip.

Bad Veins eyeing Gold and Warm video
Directed by Benjamin Davis from the album, Bad Veins.
Bad Veins are rising quickly in the music world. While opening for another band, that band liked them so much that they shopped them around and some weeks later, they had a record deal. So far they have only over a dozen shows in their young careers and they have already played with the likes of Silversun Pickups and Apples in Stereo.
Simple, extremely simple video with only one scene and two people. Yet it works, the band gives off enough energy and the on screen lyrics keep one watching.

Lord Cut Glass eyeing Look After Your Wife video
Directed by Tobias Feltus from the album, Lord Cut Glass.
“If Lord Cut-Glass was a political leader he’d be more dictator than democrat."
Great art style with guys riding pigs and female heads in cages, great fun for all. Most of the video is literal and therefore easy to follow, until we reach the last minute when actions seems to be randomly happening on screen. Some guys would love to have that paper bag...

Týr eyeing Hold the Heathen Hammer High video
Directed by Silvan Büge from the album, By the Light of the Northern Star.
The Faroe Islands, home to Týr, fits well with the themes the band uses in their music. Their newest release is their fifth album to date. You can download the Hold the Heathen Hammer Here video here.
The viking imagery was there with the ship and the rowers but the drummer decides to throw it off with his shirt. It seems they decided to spend zero on wardrobe for the band, therefore they had them go shirtless. The drummer, maybe feeling insecure, keeps his shirt on and the entire mood of the video goes overboard(haha?)

Roche Limit eyeing My Friend Ship
Directed by Dave Righton from the album, Sometimes We Must Change Shape.
Roche Limit is Dave Righton, a one man band based in Canada. The music video, created using Google Sketchup , cost Righton 11 U.S. dollars to create, with the only cost being the tape he used to record his creation. [Roche]
This goes to show that sometimes money doesn't always get you the best video. Google Sketchup is a CAD program that was used to create a visually unique piece of work. The only thing that's out of place was the 3D text used that looked like it came straight out of MS Word. If Righton keeps it up, his production costs will be very low...

The Offspring eyeing Stuff is Messed Up video
Directed by F. Scott Schafer and Sean Evans from the album, Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace.
The band's smash hit album, Smash, was remastered and re-released in April last year. The album, which was originally released in 1994, is still the highest selling indie label album of all time.
Don't judge a book by its cover, or judge all the way, according to this music video. The scene(1:25) with the female bodybuilder and the pageant girl is extremely disturbing for some reason...

Omega Lithium eyeing Stigmata video
From the album, Dreams in Formaline.
Dreams in Formaline is the band's debut album and will be released on Drakkar Records. The band signed to the record label earlier this month.
Vivid imagery awaits those who watch the video below, as vivid as the color grey can become. The set pieces were intricately designed, kudos if it was all CG for the artist captured the gothic look and feel extremely well. Don't drink the drink...

Julie Doiron eyeing Consolation Prize video
Directed by Tim McDonough from the album, I Can Wonder What You Did With Your Day.
As a Canadian, Julie Doiron's home fans take pride in her work. So much so that the mayor of Bruno in Saskatchewan province named June 7, "Julie Doiron Day". As part of the ceremony, she was awarded a bench. [Exclaim]
The video follows everyone's childhood nightmare, the visit to the dentist. Julie Doiron didn't leave her teeth for the tooth fairy to collect like most other kids, she buried them in her backyard. For some reason she decided to retrace her steps to find where she buried them and comes up with a strange surprise. Beware the tooth clones...
