Lyric videos aren’t the most interesting are they? Typically just a screen of words, maybe the new album artwork. I’ve never paid much attention to them.
That’s why its great to see a band doing it differently. Canadian rockers Three Days Grace have just released a lyric video for their new single ‘The High Road’, but its really artfully done, perfectly complementing the angst ridden track. Bands take notice, this is how to do it.
The band’s new album, ‘Transit of Venus’ is out now.

Firstly, I hope everyone isn’t feeling too rough today! If you’ve managed to get out of bed, here’s a treat for you – a new video from the master of electro-noir, William Control (aka Wil Francis of Aiden).
‘Speak To Me Of Abduction’ features on the credits of his ‘Live in London Town’ DVD, released last year.
You can catch Wil on tour with Black Veil Brides this spring in the UK and US. Dates on his facebook page here.
