TOVARISH: BrooklynVegan Premieres “Silver And Lead” Video

The “Silver And Lead” video was filmed and directed by David Brenner with live footage/editing provided by TOVARISH. The band offers with the video, “‘Silver And Lead’ is about the struggle between the haves and the have-nots. Those with the money (silver) are able to maintain their power through suppression (lead). That suppression allows them to amass further wealth and the cycle continues as the have-nots struggle just to survive. This song is the inner turmoil and struggle we must face in our daily lives, trying to fight against those that would grind us down. This video, deftly created by Gridfailure, perfectly conveys that anguished panic and rage that we, the have-nots, endure every single day.”
