Here at Fuse, we watch tons of videos every week, but only the most eye-poppingly, visual-cortex-meltingly, peeper-pleasingly rad clips are good enough for The Worm.
Today we've got "Cracks in the Armor" from Killola in which many fish puppets are speared so that one lead singer may go free. Watch the clip and get behind the scenes info from the band after the break.
Now that you've seen the clip, let the folks in the band tell you how it all came to be:
On a cool January night, over a bottle of Patron and some jerky, the LA band KILLOLA asked their music video director/buddy Hank Friedmann (Mastodon, All-American Rejects, Lights, The Maine) if he'd ever seen 'Meet The Feebles' (Peter Jackson's Henson-esque puppets-gone-perverse comic satire)... Hank said "YEAH!," and he suggested they make a similarly themed video, with evil puppets in an underwater television studio.
"We used a green screen, and a very generous friend's apartment who was out of town, and honestly, that friend didn't even know HOW generous he was, until he came home on Monday and his home was turned into an aquatic television station, complete with sand. We borrowed and scavenged a sh*tload of stuff (wetsuits, harpoon guns, driftwood/nets) and shot the damn thing in two days.
"Along the way, it is rumored that computers might have been involved, briefly... and black magic. If ya don't believe that we did in a 2 bedroom college-apartment... Check the pics, and watch our 'making-the-video' short (at :39 you can see our tiny fish-tank stage... pretty amazing)." - Killola

fun, interesting or engaging are words that could not describe this, if I'm being frank. I've got enough embarrassingly awkward small talk in my own life thank you. I love ya Dan, and I don't mean to beat you while you're down, but you asked.
