LA ska/punk trio Rundown Kreeps have a new album due September 16 via My Grito Industries, and it includes recent singles "Held Down" and "Spring Forward," along with "NOLA," which premieres in this post. This one combines sugar-sweet bubblegum pop melodies and punk energy in a Ramonesy fashion, and its video pays tribute to The Beatles. The band says:
"NOLA" observes and compares the theme of escapism in relation to the banality of everyday life. Whether it's work stress, financial struggle, emotional hurt, or the hunger to accomplish a dream; we're all either running towards or away from somewhere.
With this music video we wanted to pay homage to our musical heroes The Beatles, as well as subtly remain on the theme of escapism. The idea is that instead of making a video in which the subject matter is asking for help, we'd remake the "Help!" music video as close to shot for shot as possible.
