The Focus Creeps guys have been down to Georgia, and shot two videos for the mysterious Child Of Lov, the funk outfit with an odd name that’s generating loads of speculation regarding its apparently secret membership… In Heal, white teens in becoming New Wave of Rave gear go wild in the burbs of Atlanta. Then [...]
Influenced by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali’s Un Chien Andalou – complete with eye-slicing sequence – Matt Irwin & Aaron Brown of Focus Creeps give the thrashy pop of Garbage’s Blood For Poppies a compelling, mysterious and gorgeously aged homage to early surrealist cinema. With exceptional videos for Arctic Monkeys and Spector already in the [...]

The dandified Englishmen aren’t just touring the US in the Thunder… [...]

Inspired by ‘lost weekends in LA from Lennon to Lemmy’, Focus Creeps (aka Aaron Brown & Ben Chappell) work their magic on a revitalised Arctic Monkeys for the (surprisingly poppy) title cut to their recent No. 1 album.
