We interrupt your regular daily programming with some motherfucking breaking content for once.
What do you get when you throw together a bolstering rhythm section, a fuzz and distortion ridden riff worshipping monster on guitar and a Patti Smith esque vocalist with a range that defies belief?
Easy.
Them Dirty Shrikes.
I've never done a music video review before but here goes nothing.
The industrial style setting of the video makes for a great space in relation to the booming guitar parts and seering vocals from Stiaan and Soné. While SL and Adriaan on bass and drums jam along perfectly complimenting the sound with a flawless rhythm section.
Edited superbly by Tiger and Lilly Productions and recorded, mixed and mastered gorgeously by Jaco Naudé of Audio Culture, Trip and Fall is captivating, catchy, and some of the gnarliest, dirtiest rock tracks to come along from the Pretoria scene.
I particularly liked the themes in the song, namely that bad luck or superstition influences how people act and could even lead to insanity. Fucking wish I wrote that to be honest.
Anyway, the music video is a tour de force from a band that I've come to know as one of the most hardworking and dedicated in the scene, not to mention their musical ability. The song is a welcome trip into a heavier area for the band and the music video portrays this beautifully. Watch out dudes, the standard for music videos has just been set.
Let's call it 9/10.
Keep up the great work all you shrikes.
