For those of you living under rocks, everyone’s favorite turn of the century alt rock band continues to put out killers. The most recent gem – a music video for their track “Over And Over Again” (published September 7th) – is as quirky as the cowbell that introduces the song. And Bert McCracken’s signature vocals dance in a strangely melodic and ethereal way – as his range truly surprises people every single time – over the instrumentals, which are pure pop rock at their core. The simple video filled with blank space for much of it really gives your eyes a lesson in contrast, while the guys dance and act out absurd and visually pleasing storylines.

The video for “Over And Over Again” is a true amalgamation of The Used’s wide range of talent, continually catapulting them into the bright future of alt rock.

Youngblood Hawke has officially released the lyric video for their upbeat single “Robbers”, an indie pop track driven by electronic sound into a strangely haunting and beautiful sound. With an upbeat tempo, chorus of unique vocals, and fast-paced clapping, this song just does not stop.

The video tends to slow it down for us a bit.

Not that the video has a pace or a tone to set. The music does that for us. But the majority of the video consists of overlays of color – almost like splatter paint – in deep, gorgeous colors contrasted with black. There are moments in the video where (slightly terrifying, but beautiful) cartoon drawings pop up and take shape.

“Robbers” is an experience. And after all, isn’t that what Youngblood Hawke is all about? Keep up with them here.
