So is it a live video, or isn’t it? I guess some bands are better at expressing themselves when they’re performing, rather than acting in a storyline video. It definitely works for Bristol’s Ashestoangels in their new video for ‘Chases’, directed by the amazingly talented Marianne Harris.
Have a look:

Is it December already? I haven’t even started Christmas shopping yet. Actually, that’s a lie. I headed over to Oxford Circus yesterday, but couldn’t face the masses of crowds.. Might be another online shopping year. Oh dear..
Anyway, for those of you who are having a nice, chilled out weekend, or like me, need one, here’s a lovely bit of electro-rock tuneage for you. ‘Call Me Up’ is the new single from Manchester rockers Love For Zero. Its due out in March 2014, but if you can’t wait that long, have a listen to it below..

So I’ve been a bit of a bad little rocker, haven’t I? I can’t believe I missed this epic single from Deftones when it first came out! ‘Romantic Dreams’ might not be the anthem that ‘Back To School’ is, but its still a classic in the making. Plus there’s a great accompanying video, featuring some impressive late-night skating.
Watch it now..

Its still November, so don’t scream at me if you’re not prepared for the Christmas tunes yet! This isn’t your typical festive cheer type song anyway. ‘I Had A Heart’ from Chicago emo-kids (yep, emo is still going..) Real Friends is a stab against the usual sentimental sweetness that you’ll be hearing on the radio for the next month and a half.. It’s part of the Punk Goes Christmas compilation, which is out now.
Happy not-quite-Holidays!

So its Thursday. We’re over the hump day. Let’s celebrate with a bit of Hawk Eyes, shall we? It’s a little bit screamy, so be warned if that’s not your taste.
I actually saw this band in London a few weeks ago by chance, when a friend had some spare tickets. Needless to say, they did not warn me how screamy it would be. I was not prepared. Lesson learned – in the future, look up the band BEFORE you go see them live. I know now..
Anyway, enjoy!

Well its a Thursday, so I think we all need a bit of comedy to get us through this not-quite-Friday-day. Luckily for us, Sleeping With Sirens have that nailed for us with their new video for ‘Congratulations’.
Like bobble heads? Like scary looking grannies? You’ll love this..

So if you’re recovering from a pretty heavy night last night, ‘Rat Race’, the new music video from Enter Shikari probably not what you want to be watching. Two reasons why – firstly, its pretty LOUD, secondly, frontman Rou Reynolds seems to have grown a fairly odd looking beard..
Anyway, massive props to the guys from pushing the boat out on techno / rock / whatever genre you’d like to try and class them as. (I’m gonna be honest with you, halfway through the video I paused it, because I thought it must be playing twice in my browser. It wasn’t. That was just the song..).
Enjoy!

Yes, yes. This has been out a while, but I can’t believe I missed this brilliant piece of rock when it came out a few months ago. Papa Roach are still one of my favourite punk(ish) rock bands, and ‘Leader Of The Broken Hearts’ should show exactly why. Great song, great video, great band.
Go watch..

“When she collapsed, I thought she was joking..”
Well if that isn’t dark, I don’t know what is! Here’s a slightly trippy video from post-hardcore heroes Silverstein. ‘A Better Place’ features a guy having quite a weird encounter with a van, interspersed with some band-projected-onto-building moments. Worth a watch.
Happy Friday loves!

If you’re more of the indie persuasion, you might like this Savages-esque little number from Bristol five piece The Fauns. The band have already wowed the crowds over at BBC 6 Music, so they’re definitely worth a listen!
‘Seven Hours’ is taken from the band’s second album, ‘Lights’, which is due for release on December 2nd.
Plug those headphones in now..
