Fromt the album, Knives.
wil Francis(vocals) sold his car to raise money for the band's first release, Our Gang's Dark Oath in 2003. Through self marketing, especially the handing out of self made CDs, they signed to Victory Records in 2004.
It's an entirely different artistic avenue when a band can take a vision and not only use it in their music, but also in their outward appearance. In this case it's the horror theme that carries through both the video and the track. The priest-like outfit wil is wearing at the end really stands out with all that happened beforehand...

Knife eyeing Fake Man video
Directed by Perrone Salvatore from the album, The Gloomy Side of Things.
The Italian band Knife finally came together in 2000 to release their debut, The Soul of the Bull. They placed third in a "headbanging" contest later that year which won them a publishing deal with Dave Records.
The tension created is quite notable, since the ending turns out to be a twist on what you probably thought was going on. Why he needed all those tools to complete a simple job at the end? No one knows, at least I don't...

Bible of the Devil eyeing The Turning Stone video
From the album, Freedom Metal.
Bible of the Devil will be playing a free show in Chicago, IL at the Cobra Lounge. They will play on August 5, 2009 at 7 PM and will be held on a first come first served basis; advance tickets will not be handed out.
If Vegas carried out such a policy as demonstrated in the video for out of control gamblers, the number of addicts would quickly dip to zero.

Hackneyed eyeing Deatholution video
From the album, Burn After Reaping.
Recording for Burn After Reaping finished in early June in Germany. They call it louder and more brutal than their previous release, Death Prevails.
The video features a Samara Morgan/Sadako Yamamura look alike who terrorizes a Hackneyed fan. Not a great premise for those who love Hackneyed but are deathly terrified of horror films. Who knows, maybe every couple of viewers she makes a visit...

Ash eyeing Return of White Rabbit video
Directed by Nico Jones from the A-Z Series singles.
Like many band releasing music in the new digital age, Ash will be embracing the new technology with the digital consumption of listeners in mind. Beginning in September, the band will be releasing one out of 26 tracks every two weeks through digital outlets and also vinyl for those on that side of the coin. Download Return of White Rabbit here. [Link provided on band's website]
Unrequited love from childhood through adulthood would definitely make the character's actions in the video acceptable. He wasn't even rejected by the ladies, just simply too shy to pull the trigger. Too bad he chose a ridiculous method to end the cycle. Great art style that keeps the story moving...
Rose Elinor Dougall eyeing Start/Stop/Synchro video
Directed by Ali Taylor from the album, Without Why.
Rose was a former member of the British band, The Pipettes, before branching out to pursue her solo work early last year. Start/Stop/Synchro was the first track released under her solo name.
Wide open seascapes fill the video making it look like a retro Bahamas vacation ad. They even walked all the way from the prairies of nowhereland to the beach, too bad someone left a shoe...

Holiday Shores eyeing Phones Don't Feud video
Directed by Scott Ross from the album, Columbus'd The Whim.
Columbus'd The Whim is the Florida band's debut album. The band's hometown gives a summery vibe to their music, according to their label's info. page. You can download Phones Don't Feud free here and decide for yourself. [Link provided on label's website]
He's running from something, too bad we never find out. The earlier sections of the video could be the makings of a horror film...

Eels eyeing In My Dreams video
From the album, Hombre Lobo.
Hombre Lobo's cover art references Cohiba brand cigars. They were originally produced only for the former president of Cuba, Fidel Castro.
Prominent product placement of Mark Oliver Everett(vocals) book, "Things the Grandchildren Should Know" leads of the video as we watch his child variant prepare for bed. The rest of the clip features a long search for a frog that the child knows the exact location, even though its somewhere deep in the woods. Obviously anything is possible in dream land...

Bloc Party eyeing One More Chance video
From an as of yet named album.
Bloc Party is going back home after almost a two year hiatus. The band will be touring the UK in October, which they are dubbing "Bloctober."
Somewhat confusing video if you simply watched and didn't already know the lyrics. Seems like the characters are reliving past memories with those who have passed.

U.S. Royalty eyeing Raincoats video
Directed by Shruti Ganguly from the U.S. Royalty EP.
The band is currently based in Washington D.C. with the self titled EP as their only released work. It is available in digital format only from respective retailers.
Too bad information is sparse on the band because I would like to know how they managed to bring in Miss India 2007, Sarah-Jane Dias, for their video shoot. The director seemed to have capitalized on her presence because their is a 50/50 split between the band's shots and Dias'. Yet she doesn't do much but look extremely contemplative, too bad he gets rejected anyway. The limp candle close-up was great, dead heat...
