Bass Drum of Death - "Better Days" (Official Video)

Bass Drum Of Death are launching a tour of the Western US next week in support of last year’s Rip This. Much of that album is the raucous garage rock that has become the band’s trademark, but “Better Days” trims down Bass Drum’s approach to passionate vocal howls, fervently strummed acoustic guitars, gnarly electric lead parts, and (belying the band name) barely any drums at all. It’s kind of the Bass Drum version of a campfire singalong, the closest this band comes to gentle. That said, director Rachel Remz manages to work quite a few punches to the face into the boxing-themed video.
