Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy - I See A Darkness (New Video)

First video from the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy EP "Now Here's My Plan", released July 24, 2012 on Drag City. Directed by Ben Berman.

Plateaus - Do It For You

Check out a new track and video from Plateaus. It will be featured on the upcoming Hozac 7" due this month. 



"The latest video from San Diego quartet Plateaus contains the first high speed chase scene I’ve seen where I was simply driven to say, “Aww, how cute!” (Driven! Ha, get it?) The whole claymation style doesn’t usually make me think of batshit, explode-y action flicks, but I can definitely get behind this combo and it stars one badass little clay dude. The cheap VHS style of the video is incredibly nostalgia-inducing, if not well-coordinated with the band’s cassette-recorded pop-fuzzed rock ‘n’ roll." -Kristen Berry, Get Bent!
