Video Premiere: Say Anything, 'Say Anything'

Posted 4/20/12 1:32 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Say Anything stop everything in their 'Say Anything' video.

Close your eyes for one second while watching Say Anything's new "Say Anything" video, and you could miss the boxing drum set! Or some QUALITY Ace Ventura-level mugging by Adam Siska. The stop-motion video (a thing that's so hot right now) is full of more stuff than a Costco: We had to watch it twice just to keep up with singer Max Bemis' animated shirt. If cotton cassettes and dinosaurs in love don't hold your attention, the band soon joins the musician for some dizzying multicolored rocking. Which is when the drummer goes all Manny Pacquiao on his 7-foot kit.

Video Premiere: Cloud Nothings, 'Stay Useless'

Posted 4/13/12 6:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Cloud Nothings dream of summer in their 'Stay Useless' video.

"I need time to stay useless," Cloud Nothings' Dylan Baldi announces in "Stay Useless," a track dedicated to hanging onto your youth -- and a serious summer vacation anthem. Don't sleep on this one: The animated video, directed by Jack Kubizne, follows a wintry ride to class that turns all "Magic School Bus" on us, zipping our hoodie'd hero and an action-figure pal to a sunny island full of surrealist television screens/wormholes and one angry monkey. It's very #LOST. Pretty sure the little dude just wanted to go home and watch "SpongeBob," but that's what you get for passing out in third period.

New Song: Kanye West Featuring Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz, 'Mercy'

Posted 4/6/12 5:00 pm EST by in Music


Kanye's bringing G.O.O.D. Friday back.

T.G.I.F., y'all: Kanye West is bringing back G.O.O.D. Fridays, at least for today. He just dropped "Mercy," the first track from his label group's upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation. Unlike "Theraflu," there are no Kim Kardashian name-drops here (How did their "Hunger Games" date go? Did they read the books together? We need an update!), just a plushy beat and hard rhymes.

Listen to Kanye West's "Mercy" after the jump.

Video Premiere: Oberhofer, 'Away Frm U'

Posted 4/6/12 8:32 am EST by in Music


Oberhofer get colorful in their energetic new video.

"Saved by the Bell" lives, you guys. Oberhofer's colorful video for the very textable "Away Frm U" is all about the early '90s vibes, at least until frontman Brad Oberhofer starts licking the mic. Then a dude with a foam diamond on his head starts jumping rope with, uh, someone in possibly a pastrami costume and a strobe light. Remind us to never pull an "Inception" on Mr. Oberhofer. We'd probably end up turning into a blueberry and getting thrown directly to the Oompah-Loompahs. (Note to Chris Nolan: Did we just write your sequel? We totally did! Have your people call our people, we'll do lunch.)

New Video: I The Mighty, 'Dancing On A Tightrope'

Posted 4/5/12 8:00 am EST by in Music, Videos


Hey, girl -- San Francisco punks I The Mighty are just looking out for you. The band gets their Gosling on in the video for "Dancing On A Tightrope," a speaker-shattering track about life on the edge. "The title of the song is a metaphor for living life with reckless abandonment," singer Brent Walsh told the Alternative Press. "The song itself was inspired by a friend of mine, who does just that." The lyrics are more direct: "I can't help it, I won't let you bury yourself," he sings on the chorus, which comes with an avalanche of electric guitars.

Video Premiere: Mayday Parade, 'Stay'

Posted 4/4/12 6:00 am EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Mayday Parade say they're sorry on "Stay."

It takes a brave punk rocker to say he's sorry, but Mayday Parade's Derek Sanders just might be the genre's Taylor Swift: yup, headfirst, fearless. "I'll admit I was wrong about everything," he sings on girlfriend-apology-anthem "Stay." "I'm not strong enough for the both of us/ What was I supposed to do?" Hey, saying so sounds like a pretty good start to us -- but a dozen roses and a box of organic dark chocolate might not be a bad idea while he's at it.

New Video: Garbage, 'Blood For Poppies'

Posted 4/3/12 6:24 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music, Videos


Watch Garbage's "Blood For Poppies" video.

Garbage are back, you guys! The '90s icons went on hiatus after 2005's Bleed Like Me, but the band's still gushing: They just hit the web with their new video for "Blood for Poppies." The group, all in dark suits, mustaches and glasses except for colorful lead singer/ style diva Shirley Manson, premiered it after answering fan questions on Ustream on Tuesday, including where they've been all this time: "I spent the last seven years -- I don't really know what I've been doing! We spent our time living life and then we were ready to record," Manson said. And buying adorable yellow-and-blue matching outfits! WERQ.

Watch Cloud Nothings' Performance Of 'Stay Useless' On MTV Hive's 'Live In Boston'

Posted 4/2/12 4:27 pm EST by in Music, Videos


Cleveland rockers Cloud Nothings bring the noise to Boston.

No offense to Drew Carey, but Cleveland has probably never rocked harder than Cloud Nothings. The Ohio indie band's Attack On Memory is as powerfully punk as it gets, full of both epic noise jams and two-minute hook assaults. Going from listening to the album to watching the band play takes some getting used to -- adorkable singer Dylan Baldi should be dating Zooey Deschanel on TV, not raging this hard, right? -- but we think you can handle it.

Video Premiere: Needtobreathe, 'Keep Your Eyes Open'

Posted 4/2/12 6:02 am EST by in Music, Videos


Needtobreathe keep it retro in 'Keep Your Eyes Open.'

When we get nostalgic, it's usually for cool "Mad Men" suits, or Jeff Buckley, or the golden era of the Jonas Brothers, or our first AOL email address. But the men of Needtobreathe are taking it way back. The South Carolina band's postmodern "Keep Your Eyes Open" video, directed by Eric Ryan Anderson, time-travels all the way back to the 1890s, complete with the black-and-white 16-millimeter static of a vintage video projector, antique (and quite frankly kinda frightening-looking) steampunk-ish ophthalmological devices, old-timey suits and shades of sepia.

Counting Crows' New 'Underwater Sunshine' Cover Album Is Awesome (And Free!), You Guys

Posted 3/30/12 4:04 pm EST by in Celebrity, Music


Counting Crows are back with a 15-track covers record.

Few bands (that have never appeared on a Warped Tour stage) do unbridled, yet highly palatable naked angst the way the Counting Crows do. (I truly challenge you to find someone old enough to remember at least the first George W. Bush term if not Clinton's second lap who doesn't hold a Counting Crows album in extremely high nostalgic regard.) And I'm not saying I wouldn't be happy if Adam Duritz sang another song involving raincoats or phone calls. But it's equally as satisfying to hear my personal '90s heroes taking on other artists' hits on their new Underwater Sunshine album, the band's first cover album. The generous 15-track set ranges from '70s classics by Big Star and the Faces (remember that killer track from the end of "Rushmore"?) to more modern, lesser-known efforts -- the Romany Rye's "Untitled Love Song" and Coby Brown's "Hospital," among others.
