Big releases for the bands I've made music videos for showcasing their new albums.
First up - BLACK NEON KNIGHTS
First up - BLACK NEON KNIGHTS
The band dropped with first album 'RISE UP' on the 19th February. And yes, while I could be very biased about it, I still like to think I know bad music from good. As for this album? Its a belter full of riffs and energy. It's a must listen if you're a fan of Pearl Jam, Black Sabbath, and Alice in Chains. The band are tight, the songs well written, and chock full of great riffs.
I'm genuinely happy with the work I did for the band. I tried to give them something new and original than the usual rock music videos, to try and show the energy the songs have while being visually arresting to the viewer.
I honestly feel the band can take that next step and hopefully get signed up. So if you like any of the videos and more importantly the music, show some love and buy the album from the links below to help em out and keep them going.

Next up - MERRIN
I've known the band since my University days and see them go from strength to strength. Their second EP is called 'MIDNIGHT MOVIES' that was released 1st March.
Again, could not be more impressed. In the genre of bands that emerge from movie soundtracks of the 80's heavily influenced by Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter, Goblin, MERRIN have moved up a gear with this album.
The album is more focused and balanced than their previous release 'DOOM CINEMA'. With the added percussion and synth arrangements widening the scope, the album has a lot of prog-rock influences behind it with the likes of Mogwai being a major influence for me.
As for my input you can read about the history HERE. It's a video that is dirty, grimy, and not for everyone as it's very uncomfortable. This is something that fits the band and the new album, especially with the redux version of the song Henry Kane.
Again, show the band some love and pick up a copy of the album. And for you budding filmmakers, if you love the sound and want them to work on your films, give them a shout!
