OFF!'s Latest Video

Keith Morris...you know...the Keith Morris, has a brand spankin' new music video for his newest project OFF! The song is called "Upside Down" and will be the band's first release appropriately titled First EP.

It's art, skateboarding and punk rock. What more could you ask for in a music video?

Just to jog your memory on exactly why OFF! is such a big deal, it features Steve McDonald from Redd Kross on bass, Dimitri Coats from the Burning Brides on guitar and Mario Rubalcaba of Rocket From The Crypt on drums.

First EP comes out on October 12th only on 7" courtesy of Vice Records and is the first of a four part series. You can pre-game by checking out their music video below:

The Death Set's "Far Weathered Friends" Video

We are excited to have the official music video for The Death Set's "Far Weathered Friends," a reworking of Daedelus' "Fair Weathered Friends." The video is directed by LAZLO, illustrated by J. Penry and animated by Wealthy Pictures.

On top of the video, we can (luckily) be expecting more stuff from The Death Set this year- including a documentary, a mix tape of the band's favorite tracks and unreleased material....and all before a new fall album. Score.

After the unexpected death of founding member Beau Velasco in late '09, I applaud the band for their choice to continue their writing, touring and general badassery. No doubt that 2010 will wrap up to be a solid year, so here's to many more awesome musical endeavors by TDS!

As details unfold about the year's planned releases, you know where to look.

New Killswitch Engage Video

After posting a teaser last week, Killswitch Engage has premiered their brand new music video for "Save Me" today.

Before you check out the video, see what guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz had to say about it:

This was my favorite video shoot EVER! It took like 1/2 an hour, and we were turned into clay. And who doesn't like claymation and space aliens? They didn't like my suggestion of turning me into a blood-thirsty pterodactyl with laser eyes at the end of the vid, but it's cool. Thanks to all who worked wicked hard on this video...it looks sweet.

Yes. It's a video with Killswitch in space getting hijacked by aliens. In claymation. What!? It even features a claymation performance, too. Just....watch:
