Through the TurnStyle - The Sidekicks

Here is a great session we shot with The Sidekicks! It was shot at the Grog Shop for their album release show of Awkward Breeds. Edited by TeeJay. I love these dudes. I've been binging on their new album like crazy.



Take the time to watch it.

Through the TurnStyle - Solipsist

Here's the session we shot with Cleveland Metal lords, Solipsist. Brace yourself. The post interview performance is brutal as hell.

Matt Bors short by Matt Hyland

It's not often that I post videos we don't do on this blog. But I felt like this time it was necessary. It's a short shot by a Chicago filmmaker named Matt Hyland on my friend Matt Bors. He's by far the best political cartoonist working today. Please take a minute to watch it. You will not be disappointed.

The Needle Drop

Screen shot 2012-04-03 at 1.57.03 PM

I wanted to set The Needle Drop aside. Because he single-handedly boosted us from only 90 views to over 500 on our second day.

I've been watching his reviews every morning for about a year now. Anthony is responsible for my interest in a ton of bands like BadBadNotGood, Death Grips, Odd Future and Dumbo Gets Mad, that I might not have found on my own.

Not only is this post a huge boost for us and great exposure, it's something that gives me a real sense of validation. There's nothing like putting days of work into something and then getting acknowledged for it. Everyone who worked on the video should be proud as hell.

I hope Anthony enjoys the rest of Smoke Screen's soon-to-be released EP and fingers crossed that he reviews it in video form. That would be huge for everyone involved.

As for Smoke Screen I can't wait to do another project with them. I contacted them almost a year ago on a whim and it's turned out to be amazing. I love collaborating with them and I think at this point we've moved on from collaborators to real friends. I hope this EP blows up and they get to see the world.

This is the 50th post on this Blog. I can't believe how far our group has come from when I started this and it hasn't even been a year yet.

-Jon Nix

P.S. We have it up on YouTube now too.

Thank You Bloggers!

This has without a doubt been our best Video release ever (Just out front of All Dinosaurs). The end of the second day and we're into the quadruple digits. I just wanted to take the time to thank all the Bloggers who posted the video and all the people who watched it. Without either of you we wouldn't have a way of getting our work out or recognized. Thanks to everyone for your support!
