hands // brave motion + official video

The official Johnny Woods-directed/animated video for Brave Motion from Hands, is a full-blown color smeared action movie montage (by the way, love the care crashing in the helicopter).

The four-piece band of the Summer 2013 will likely be Hands. Any band that can take the best parts of indie music scene and build such a monster sound is bound to amass a huge following.

The Mars Volta /// The Maklin Jewel

The Mars Volta are one of my favorite guitar bands hands down.

So, like me you love the bands head-trip progressive experimentation, as the songs weave in and out of consciousness, as the music performs a sonic lobotomy on your frontal cortex and soul kisses your spine! Check out the full album stream at www.antiquiet.com. Peace. Better yet raucous mayhem! Continue reading “The Mars Volta /// The Maklin Jewel”
