Finns impersonating Americans, but still speaking in finnish. The "plot" setup is longer than the song. The costumes and the acting? Ugh. But the song... the song is alright. Almost makes me wish they just filmed themselves in their rehearsal space or something, but I suppose those artists need to follow their muse. Direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDgD2cDUESA
The weather clouded up and we got some rain and hail, so it's back to the feel-bad jams that befit our never-ending bummer winter/the spring that never was. Hooded Menace are a finnish band with a great name who sound like they spent way too much time listening to Black Sabbath on the wrong speed and then got a guitarist to come in with the most sickening, discordant harmonies possible. It's slow, queasy and yes, totally awesome. Until the sun comes back, I'm mired in this sludge.
