DURAN DURAN Still Have The Right Reflexes – Watch And Hear ‘ANNIVERSARY’

Posted on by JL

20 October 2021

Band: DURAN DURAN (Birmingham, UK)
Active: Since 1978 / 14 studio albums so far

New album: FUTURE PAST
Out: This Friday, 22 October via Tape Modern/BMG

Single/clip: ANNIVERSARY
One of the four singles from
the upcoming LP

John Taylor (bassist and the band’s co-founder) said: “ANNIVERSARY’ is
a special song for us. Obviously, we were conscious of our own impending
40th anniversary of making music together, but we wanted the song’s meaning
to be inclusive in the broadest possible way. After playing and working together
for so long, we very much appreciate what ‘being together’ and ’staying together’
can really mean, it’s not something we would have thought song-worthy 40 years
ago but we do today! It was also fun to build a track with hints of previous Duran
hits, they’re like Easter eggs, for the fans to find.”

The glam gentlemen still know how to write energetic and magnetic pop
earworms. They still have the right reflexes after 40 years. Yes, they grow
older in flashing style.

The video clip features lookalike stars including Elton John,
Madonna, Stormzy, Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig and more.

LEG PUPPY And VIOLENT VICKIE Invite You For A Graveyard Rave

Posted on by JL

Clips that impress your eyes and ears

Artist: LEG PUPPY
Who: Acid house junk
from London.

New album: THE AIR IN UTOPIA IS POISON
6th album – check all others on Bandcamp
Released: 27 August 2021
Order info: here

Puppy teamed up with Violent Vickie, a Los Angeles-based
Dark-Synth-Riot artist, for the album’s jinxed jam Turn It Up Keith.
Vickie‘s gloomy vocals fit the doomed groove perfectly. Seems like
the duo invites us for an illegal graveyard rave.

No idea where the horrific video comes from but while we’re at
that graveyard rave the clip should play on a giant screen while
we all losing our senses.

Roll the tape, Keith and turn up the volume…

Clips to impress your eyes and ears

4 August 2021

Band: A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS
Who: Infamous psych-noiseniks from Brooklyn, NY
led by founder/mastermind Oliver Ackermann
Active: Since 2003 / 5 LPs (so far)

A couple of weeks ago the band released new
5-track EP titled Hologram, out 16 July.

Order info: hero.

What does it sound like? Remember Ozzy Osbourne telling
his mates about movies that scare people and his idea of
making music that scares people. That’s exactly how A Place
To Bury Strangers sounds, even scarier than Black Sabbath if
you ask me.

The Brooklyn trio already showed us clips for two EP
tracks. For I Might Have and End Of The Night.

Here’s another one, for In My Hive. Guess what?
The music as well as the video clip scares people.
Take that Black Sabbath!

Wanna see the two other video’s too? Here we go…

– END OF THE NIGHT –

– I MIGHT HAVE –

Melancholia In Motion – THE BANKROBBER Revealed New Video Clip For ‘CARRY ME ON’ Single

Posted on by JL

Clips for ears and eyes…

19 June 2021

Italian pop act THE BANKROBBER released
their newest single CARRY ME ON last month.

Turn Up The Volume wrote: “New musing Carry Me On feels like a nightly
gloaming. Acoustic soul-searching and intimate tenderness. The darksome
sorrowfulness of the late great Buckley legends floats all over this gloomy
Giacomo Oberti ballad. The Bankrobber is back and still has the lockdown
blues.”

And here’s the video clip for the song. As always, made with images fitting
the song’s heart and soul, with stylishness and refinement, visualizing the
tristesse of the protagonist in this one beautifully. Melancholia in motion.
