Video

Third Man's digging deep into their personal picks it would seem, tackling records from RSTB faves Timmy's Organism, Wolf Eyes and Texan punks Video. Feels like forever since Video first came our way via shared members in Bad Sports and Wax Museums (2011 to be exact), but second time 'round is just as crushing as the first. A tough-knuckled album for the likes of Jack White's anointed, but its good to see in times like these that deep pockets have good tastes. The record is muscular and cut through with the kind of punk that's bound in scuffed leather and bruised to the marrow. Driving and forceful, the pace doesn't really relent, its all ball peen hammer to the knees, smash and grab rockers that knock the wind out of listeners and pull back for another punch. Hard to say that they're breaking fresh soil but as I've said before, when you're doing it right, you don't need to be a pioneer. Sometimes just hitting harder and dirtier than the rest is enough. Rock still needs its saviors and some nights power will always overwhelm depth.
