Volume 48: Tapes 'N Tapes

The music video seems to be a lost art form nowadays. On Tapes 'N Tapes first single, Freak Out, off the new album, Outside, they tell the story they intended to with the song's lyrics as opposed to other videos which is just some random filler for you to look at. You also have to appreciate the idea of the VHS and how the home films used to look off of them with the date on them and the use of "Rewind" and "Fast Forward" appearing on the screen.

A pretty random fact about this band (courtesy of their Wiki):

The band has four members, each of whom is named after a word in the band's name; two members of the band share the same word for their name. The band members are:

* Josh Grier (Tapes 1) - guitar, vocals
* Jeremy Hanson (Tapes 2) - drums
* Matt Kretzman ('n) - keyboards, multi-instruments
* Erik Appelwick ('n) - bass guitar

Can't say I've ever seen anything like that before.
