A Day To Remember have a new video out for their latest single “All I want” (off their new album “What separates me from you”.) And they have definately tried a different approach and angle. They have cameo-spots from 20 different bands from the punk/hardcore genre.

The thing is I’ve liked ADTR for a few years, and I finally saw them just last year at the Reading Festival, and thought they were pretty awesome. I even think having up to 20 guest vocalists from other bands on your video is an interesting marketing idea, as it reaffirms the band’s connections with other bands of the same genre. I mean that was the way I got into bands when I was growing up, by reading the ‘thank you’s in the back of the album sleeve and seeing which bands were associated to who. But it’s BECAUSE of the genre why this music video fails to hit the spot.

The video had the potential to be awesome. It could have captured the sort of community spirit and DIY togetherness that you might find in a dirty overspilled secret basement gig. They could have got everyone together IN ONE ROOM, screaming down the mic, jumping on each other and getting involved, now THAT would have been an epic video. But instead the execution is poor and seems contrived, making it a bit desperate to me and has put me off ADTR a little. It’s the equivalent of video name dropping. Even Andrew WK couldn’t save it.

In fact I may as well list all the bands that feature here so you don’t have to watch the video.

The Acacia Strain
Andrew WK
As I Lay Dying
August Burns Red
Architects
Bring Me The Horizon
Comeback Kid
Crime In Stereo
The Devil Wears Prada
Tom Denney (A Day To Remember’s ex guitarist)
Millencolin
Maylene & The Sons of Disaster
MxPx
Parkway Drive
Pete Wentz
Pierce the Veil
The Red Chord
Set Your Goals
Seventh Star
Silverstein
Trivium
This Is Hell
Veara
Your Demise

But I have to give the video some credit as there are some awesome bands on there and the song is good! So here’s the video anyway. Have a watch and make up your own mind.

This is brilliantly executed. You can’t beat a bit of backyard wrestling. Top notch tune too.
It might look and sound like your average pop punk video (gang shouts an’ all) but it looks like they had a whole lotta fun making it, so who cares right?

It’s very rare that you hear great punk/hardcore bands captured well in a live environment. It’s such a difficult thing to co-ordinate, the technical intricacies of the the guitar work and double bass drum fills, alongside the twiddling bass. Not to mention the anthemic vocals and the general passion filled atmosphere. And thats just the sound. The boys at New Speak Productions have mastered that audio black magic, and mixed it will some pretty impressive video footage to create a winning concoction.

They have filmed bands such as Propaghandi, Strike Anywhere and A Wilhelm Scream, Bouncing Souls, who we all know are as energetic and passionate in their delivery as in the musical content. Fix your beady eyes on some of their videos below.

Propagandhi perfrom ‘Supporting Caste’ live in Leeds, UK.

A Wilhelm Scream perform ‘Less Bright Eyes, More Decide’ live in Manchester, UK.

Strike Anywhere perform ‘Amplify/Blaze’ live in Leeds, UK.

The Bouncing Souls play ‘True Believers’ at the Liverpool 02 Academy.

You can get in touch with the boys on New Speak Productions Site

Or fan it up on theNew Speak Productions Facebook page

Or you can also get bloggy with them on the New Speak Productions Blog
