Camera2 – ‘Natalie’

March 24, 2021

The music video for NYC rock band Camera2’s latest single, ‘Natalie’, is as much a story in itself as a clip to accompany the song. Opening with a young boy riding his bicycle down a deserted country rode, there’s a deep sinister-ness about it all, despite his angelic face and the verdant forest. The boy drops his bike and runs into the forest, in such a sudden and deliberate moment that it’s immediately obvious that there’s something serious about to happen.

Alex Woodard – ‘Halfway’ 

March 24, 2021

Acclaimed singer songwriter Alex Woodard is as much at home with a pen in his hand as he is when he’s standing strumming behind a guitar. A storyteller at heart whose songs are right up there with Springsteen and Mellencamp, Woodard is also a published author, so when he reaches his limit lyrically, he’s able to step in with his books, with each reinforcing the other. His latest series of essays, ‘Living Halfway’, finds its musical equivalent in his song, ‘Halfway’, a fan favourite that the artist has been singing on tour for several years now. Paired with ‘Living Halfway’, the song takes on a deeper meaning.

OBAS – ‘Hug The Streets’ ft. Rick Ross 

March 17, 2021

What do Haiti, and Danbury, Connecticut have in common? Well on the surface, not a lot. But dig deeper and you’ll see both are affected by racism, inequality, and injustice. Still based in Connecticut, rapper OBAS spent part of his childhood in Haiti, and his teen years in Danbury, and in his new single, ‘Hug The Streets’, featuring Rick Ross, he talks about his experiences, and draws parallels between what at first glance would seem to be two places poles apart.

Lesibu Grand – ‘Hot Glue Gun” (PLS PLS RMX)’

March 17, 2021

Lesibu Grand keep dropping videos every other month, and we just can’t get enough. The incredible new wave/punk band from Atlanta already dropped the original version of ‘Hot Glue Gun’ back in December, which was a punk anthem unlike any other with the clip showing frontwoman Tyler-Simone Molton poking fun at the people in power from inside a retro video game. Now, with the PLS PLS remixed version of ‘Hot Glue Gun’, the song takes on an EDM vibe while not losing any of its punk attitude.v

The High Plains Drifters – ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’

March 11, 2021

The lyric video for ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’, the new single from NYC band The High Plains Drifters, focuses on an astronaut wandering around an abandoned space station. Although the song shares the title with the Rainbow rock song, and the name of the band sounds like they’d play country music, neither could be further from the truth – it’s a retro-synth pop track which harks back to the sounds of Erasure, Depeche Mode, and other classic UK electronic bands.
