New Excepter Video - "Kill People"

thumbnail icon: New Excepter Video - "Kill People"

In their newest expanded form, Brooklyn weirdos and hard workers Excepter have upped the madness of their already aesthetically specific John Fell Ryan-directed videos. It was great watching them with a giant hunk of meat for "Burgers," and now they're out to "Kill People." To refresh your memory, in JFR's Debt Dept notes he explained the track: "Originally titled 'Guns and Roses,' this workout brings to mind the old NRA clause, here reduced to its essential conclusion."

If those images of DJ Porkchop doing occult stuff with a skull are too creepy for you, we still have the track in take-home version. OK, to be fair to Porkchop, there are plenty of things to give shivers in this one: Like a bleeding and duct-taped Dan Hougland, the bloody tears, that ancient computer animation, the song itself. Excepter rules.

Dept Dept is out today (3/25) on Paw Tracks.

This crap would never see the light of day if they didn't know all the right people.

yeah, pretty sure this is utter shit. pretty sure, as i'm just one human being.

it's a closed system, and they know it. art is not staring at a fifty foot opaque wall with no entry point in. well, sometimes it can be. but not here.

With so much good stuff going on right now, I can't see why someone would post this.

I agree with "stat's" comment about knowing the right people.

um, bands that know the right people (ie. people who know about music, write about music, put out music) tend to know them because said right people like what those bands are doing. you may disagree with them (excepter is not everyone's thing) but, uh, what makes your band so interesting? probably not much. please feel free to post a myspace site, or whathaveyou, and we'll be sure to check it out.

i'm not in a band right now, in the middle of forming one, it would definitely be better than excepter, i will let you know

no matter what you say excepter still sucks, period - it's a vortex of suckitude

the right people (are you a right person, friend?) need to get a life and some taste
(yeah yeah i know, taste is relative) thought yes SG does post some good stuff for the most part
