As Tom says “I am a sensitive Scorpio, I am very in touch with my emotions”.

Mipso Release New Video For “Servant To It”

North Carolina’s beloved Americana band Mipso have released an official video for “Servant To It,” a track from their recently released acclaimed album Edges Run. Premiering with Culture Collide, the video shows the behind-the-scenes dynamic and shenanigans of the band on the road. Mipso’s Libby Rodenbough (vocals, fiddle, songwriter) describes, “There’s a romantic myth about artists that doesn’t square with the banal kind of privilege it usually takes to be one publicly. “Servant To It” is a wink at that myth. This video is a portrait of our reality as working musicians. Jacob Blumberg, the creator, came out on the road with us on a recent run down through the Deep South, and he put together a ton of material—disposable camera stills, old VHS camcorder footage, etc.—in a way that conveys the fun and silliness and strangeness and madness of touring.“

Watch the new vídeo from Raw in Sect – “Arena”

Raw In Sect’s hometown of Athens is the basis for new single Arena, taken from the band’s upcoming third album Kitro.

Commenting on the song and video, lead vocalista/guitarist Kostas Diamandis says: “Arena is tied with Athens like a wordplay. In Greek it’s called “Athena” so the words resemble each other. The song/video is a hymn about the city itself. The traffic, the worn out buildings, the people, the stray cats and dogs and of course the streets are all part of what composes various parts of the city that you won’t find in tourist guides.” Continuing “Arena is meant to depict the routine/everyday life of normal people and what one sees in a real walk through the city. We wanted to do this as the city itself has been a great source of inspiration throughout the entire record and are sure it’s going to inspire the viewers as well.”
