The Wombats return, dispensing with their chirpy-chap image of yore in favour of full (and rather unlikely) rock and roll shallowness: Japanese sex, loads of drugs, and fucked-up fame. It’s a tough job, etc… Much well-crafted fun from LA-based directing team The General Assembly – who brought us Grum’s wonderful Through The Night – in [...]

For Mika’s second single from his The Boy Who Knew Too Much album, Nez gives the singer a massive stage – just about big enough to contain his personality and ambition – to live out his song and dance fantasies. A big choreographed number that fits the song with lots of clever split imagery to [...]

For the third single from their 2009 Top 10 album Only Revolutions, Ayrshire trio Biffy Clyro turned to friend Andy Morahan for the video. Epic in every sense, the promo can roughly be described as a wild, lavish, pirate movie or a mini Master And Commander. Highly enjoyable and released to coincide with support duties [...]

The unbelievably statuesque Sophie Ellis-Bextor is back doing her guest-vocalist thing. And Chris Sweeney turns her Freemasons collab into a very graphic design-influenced performance – the VFX by Gary Brown at Munky. Clean, colourful, and fabulous. Freemasons Featuring Sophie Ellis Bextor Heartbreak Made Me A Dancer (Skint) Prod co: Colonel Blimp Director: Chris Sweeney Producer: [...]
