New videos for new music: Placebo, Mos Def and Anti-Flag.
June 8th, 2009 by Leilani Polk in VideoA sneak peek at videos for music releases due out this week by a range of artists, with short reviews and grade school-style ratings!
“For What It’s Worth,” the first single off Placebo’s Battle for the Sun, on Vagrant Records. This is the British alt rock trio’s sixth album and its first since 2006’s Meds. Good visuals, interesting commentary. Rating: B+
“Casa Bey,” a hot funk number by Mos Def off The Ecstatic (Downtown Records). Close-up shots of Mos Def’s lips as he raps, with text of what he says floating out of his mouth and fading away. Well-done flash. Rating: B+
Mos Def – “Casa Bey” – The Ecstatic – 6.9.09
Anti-Flag’s “When All the Lights Go Out,” from their politically-charged seventh effort, The People or the Gun. The band plays, shit gets thrown onto a bonfire, political messages pop up, etc. Rating: C+.
Anti-Flag “When All The Lights Go Out” video premiere (Altpress.com Exclusive) from Alternative Press on Vimeo.
