Kansas City, MO based electro-rock band Razorwire Halo has released the official music video for “Sweat,” from their March 27th released EP, Retaliate. “Sweat” was filmed on site in downtown Kansas City, MO by Kenn Little of “A Ghost in Every Room” “Sweat is a powerfully rhythmic track that is very sexual by design. It focuses on the pure unrestrained sexual urges between two entities and we felt the video should continue on with that feeling. We wanted to show the entities crossing each other throughout the video without ever being able to interact. As though they were worlds apart but could still sense each other.” - Tak Kitara(Vocalist) Tak and Kenn have a history of working with each other on videos and artwork for RWH releases. They shared the director role on their latest collaboration. Magen Killz signed on to the project to play the lead role early on during the development of the concept. Check out the video below: RWH will begin to tour across the U.S. this Sp...

Ded have released a new horror-themed video for 3rd single "Hate Me". To celebrate the release, the single is now on sale everywhere for just .69 cents. The clip finds the band playing inside a spooky looking house with a bit of a supernatural vibe going on as they deliver their energetic performance of the track. Singer Joe Cotela says, “What's up world! We've just released the video for our new single "Hate Me"! This song is all about self-empowerment. It's about following your gut and being who you know you truly are, without being influenced by all of the bullshit around you. It’s about not succumbing to negative energy from negative people." He continues, "There are people that do nothing with their lives, but talk shit about someone who is on their grind. You can hate my hustle all day - but you will not stop it. This isn't a song for boneheads that think it's cool to be an asshole. It's about doing something positi...
