THE DESIGNS release new video single “FOREVER WRONG”


Electro-metal duo The Designs have released “Forever Wrong”, a new video single from the upcoming debut album [IN]VENT. The video, once again directed by the female half of the duo, Snovonne ‘Sno’ Drake, is a playful, crime documentary-styled take on the song’s otherwise cynical notions of self-doubt and alienation.

“We wanted to lighten up the message a little bit…” says Sno, “people like us have always been outsiders and grew up with a certain discomfort of being judged and looked at differently. As if being yourself was a ‘crime’. So, I chose to have fun with that in the video… the interrogation turns into a dance with a unicorn, the police lineup turns into a party… obviously, being yourself is not a crime, although NOT being yourself probably should be.”

GHOST reveal new video for “Spillways” + MTV ‘Live From The Ministry’


“The Swedish band Ghost reliably hits the three Ps hard: proggy, punky and poppy. Its fifth album, IMPERA, packs the ambitious sprawl of ’70s rock epics into (relatively) bite-size packages with amusingly confounding story lines. ‘Spillways,’ one of the album’s most straightforward tracks, starts with a pounding piano straight out of Billy Joel’s ‘All for Leyna’ and quickly segues into a sweetly constructed rock tune. Think Bad Religion with ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ running through its veins.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES
