Watch: Greys “Guy Picciotto”

We first heard Greys‘ track “Guy Picciotto” last week via Live Eye Tv’s Punk/Hard Rock Playlist for April 2014, and today we have a new video for the track…With three EPs behind them since their inception in 2011, and plenty of live shows throughout North America to cut their teeth on, Greys recorded their upcoming LP If Anything over a ten day stretch during the fall of 2013 at Toronto’s Candle Recording. Due out June 17th on Carpark Records, “Guy Picciotto” is the opening track off the new album, and it definitely falls on the loud and hard side of the band’s sonic interests as it lands hooks right and left, while delivering anthemic lyrics like “There goes my hero/He plays the same guitar as me/When I see him flying right off the stage/I want to be like him every day in every way.” The killer video for the track was directed by Amanda Fotes, and it features the boys high atop an old industrial tower tossing a Marshall amp off the roof. The rest of the video alternates between various vantages on the falling speaker, all played in super slow-mo, coupled with visually damaged footage of the band playing the track live! It’s a basic concept, but it serves the music perfectly, with the slow falling amp providing the perfect tension, and ultimate release, for this 90’s inspired indie rock cut.
