1960s Mexican group Los Beatniks does the "Tampico Twist"

In 1962, Mexican rock ‘n’ roll group Los Beatniks did a song called “Tampico Twist.” The song was recorded the same year by Bill Haley and His Comets, but my internet research this morning yielded no more information about either the band (not to be confused with Argentinean band of the same name) or […]

Watch this “still photos vs. warped-band-that-looks-like-it’s-playing-on-speed” video below (it’s actually quite cool), and get yourselves reacquainted with the Canadians.

M.I.A. makes terrifyingly violent video epic for "Born Free"

What does M.I.A., worldwide superstar, do with all that “Paper Planes” money and fame? She makes a nine-minute ultra-violent music video epic is what she does. We talked a little while ago about the art of the music video, and if MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” was the weirdo surrealist of the pack, M.I.A.’s […]

Wakey!Wakey! releases official music video for "Light Outside"

Yesterday, Knox Road staple Wakey!Wakey! and The Family Records released the music video for “Light Outside”, one of my favorite tunes off the stunning Almost Everything I wish I’d Said The Last Time I Saw You…, featured in an earlier post here. The video stirs you to action, does it not? It has an […]

Regarding modern art and MGMT's "Flash Delirium" video

We here at Knox Road talk a lot about “weird,” “bizarre” or “crazy” music videos. I myself like to indulge in the modern art that music videos have now become in much the same way I would a Warhol or Dali painting. I like to observe it for what it is, and try […]

Cults unveil the mystery in cute video for "Go Outside"

The mysterious, under-two-minute song “Go Outside” by the equally mysterious and brief Cults now has a not-so-mysterious video! Phew! Some light is finally shed! For one, we know that whoever filmed the Cults video lives near an ocean with rocky shores and caves (narrowing it down!). We ALSO know that whoever filmed the […]

Letting Up Despite Great Faults releases charming teaser for new music video

Our friends Letting Up Despite Great Faults recently released a teaser to their much ballyhooed (…by us) upcoming music video for “Our Younger Noise”. It’s charming, enthralling, and VERY cute. Remember how I talked about their sound being perfect for films? And then I proceeded to describe my own made-up scene? Looks like my […]

Liars battle ocean rocks (!!) in "Scissor" video

Now THAT’S how you make weird music videos. Liars have just released the video for their single “Scissor” off upcoming album Sisterworld, and it’s just what we (at least I) wanted: a guy floating in a raft battling rocks that attack him from the depths of the ocean. Perfect! […]

Shearwater makes the weird, overly dramatic music video of your dreams

Huh? Ok, I like weird music videos as much as the next guy, but Shearwater’s video for “Hidden Lakes” gives off too much of a “This video MEANS something. We are 100 percent serious” vibe. The straw hat, HUGE eyelashes, eating something weird off the ground… it all just screams “metaphooorrrrrr….” But instead […]
