Blessed By A Broken Heart are streaming their new video for “Forever” off their upcoming album, Feel The Power, due out January 24th on Tooth & Nail Records.
“The ‘Forever’ video was all about locations,” explains guitarist Sam Ryder. “Our director, Robbie Starbuck, totally came through on the desert location, such an epic backdrop and so much space. The last scene we shot was at a local dive bar. There was no faking here, we had the time of our freakin’ lives! Me and Tyler missed a load of our shots because we were singing NWA karaoke, but you know, duty calls. The locals loved it. We had our wrap party right there after the last scene. We left that bar after a few late night renditions of ‘It’s America,’ but our legacy lives on”¦”
In just a few short moments bands will begin to announce their appearance at this years Bamboozle via #MidnightMADNESS on twitter. Headliners this year are Blink 182, Foo Fighters, Bon Jovi, and more. Let us know who you are you interested in seeing.
Blink-182 have released an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of their latest video for their second single, “[itunes link=”http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/after-midnight/id462369883?uo=4″ title=”Blink 182 – After Midnight” text=”After Midnight”].”
The video follows the story of young, troubled lovers in a psych ward who break free for an unforgettable night together. “It’s that idea of one person trying to help another person to live life,” explained director Issac Rentz. “It’s almost like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in that they have this one night to have a great time together.”
MxPx will be releasing their new album, Plans Within Plans, on April 3, 2012.
It’s been over four years since the release of their last album, Secret Weapon. Since then, the band has released a covers album On The Covers II (Tooth & Nail Records) in 2009 and also re-vamped their record label, Rock City Recording Company, in the same year. The band also had time to release their Left Coast Punk EP and a holiday album Punk Rock Christmas both in 2009 as well. Two years later, the band released a music documentary, Both Ends Burning (December 1, 2011) that features footage from the band’s 2008 world tour all the way to the band’s sold-out Seattle show in March 2011. The DVD is a brutally honest depiction of the band, giving fans insight into their career, trying to find the balance between full time jobs, and the life of a touring musician.
Part of the labor behind the hard work and life of a band is referenced within the album title, Plans Within Plans. “I struggled with this album title for a long time,” explains vocalist and bassist, Mike Herrera. “I had been recording this album in between tours and booking tours, studio sessions, and trying to live somewhat of a normal life. Life got in the way of that. Plans Within Plans was the only way I could describe all the mayhem that was going on behind the scenes of putting this collection of brand new songs together.”
Man Overboard have announced the venues and dates for the POP PUNK THE VOTE TOUR. Supporting Man Overboard on all these dates will be Handguns and Seahaven. Daytrader and Candy Hearts will be splitting the opening slot on the tour. Tickets are on sale now.
The band will also be on the Vans Warped Tour this summer joining bands like A Loss For Words, Polar Bear Club, Bayside, Every Time I Die and many more. Venues and ticket info coming soon.
