Brendan Cleaves takes us on an&nbsp;atmospheric and surreal roadtrip with East London psych-rock outfit Saint Agnes for their slowburning rumble The Witching Hour.It&#39;s evocative of numerous classic films where dodgy back projection just adds to the spectacle, with band members - and other mysterious passengers - sometimes there, sometimes not...&nbsp;

A blistering&nbsp;performance of no-nonsense metal by Death Koolaid, whipped into shape by&nbsp;Brendan Cleaves courtesy of a nifty rotating camera on a homemade rig.&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;The band wanted to do a performance video but in reality despise them,&quot; says Brendan.&nbsp;&quot;So I came up with this idea, to create motion sickness, headaches and general dizziness.&nbsp;Due to the limited budget, I thought I&#39;d make it more intense for the band and crew and put a time limit on the shoots duration (a total of three hours), to simply get in, go nuts and get out!&nbsp;&quot;We used a homemade camera rig for many of the shots and the song is bonkers, so it all came together nicely.&quot;

Brendan Cleaves delivers a dark, mysterious performance promo for former King Blues man Jamie Jazz's new outfit Beach Blood. The video features some flashy fireworks lighting and some top smoke effects.

Here's what the band had to say: "The whole idea basically came from wanting play around with sparklers. Brendan Cleaves (the director) came up the idea for trying to light a whole music video using nothing but sparklers as the front lights... and it worked! 

"After 300 sparklers, six fountains, five rescue flares, four smoke bombs and blow-torch, the only thing that was burnt was a pizza. Although we certainly learnt the hard way why you shouldn't release a smoke bomb in sealed tunnel – it hurts. And the locals weren't massive fans of all their smoke alarms going off in the middle of the night."
