New Pinback Video - "From Nothing To Nowhere"

Somehow or the other we wind up talking about Rob Crow every week. Maybe 'cause we've got a big ol' crush on that crazy bearded SoCal indie rock songwriting machine. Today's excuse? New vid from Pinback, for the kick-ass lead track from their seasonally seasoned LP Autumn Of The Seraphs (out this fall!). Not much to tell ya about this one: Pinback under the pitch-black sky, bathed by flood lights and some luminescent sky madness, rocking "From Nothing To Nowhere" from the middle of nowhere. (Or, after seeing that slight screen warp at the end, maybe from Roswell...)

The clip stays here, but at least you can take the song home with ya...

Pinback - "From Nothing To Nowhere" (MP3)

Or watch the unofficial Alternate Pinback Video (Feat. The Breakfast Club). Two weeks, Bender...

Autumn Of The Seraphs is out 9/11 on Touch and Go.

Weird video. Rob's snarling at the camera like he should be rock-hard-rocking... While the song is great, I just don't see where the grimacing, wailing and flailing fit into the picture.

Yeah, he's got such a pretty voice and he's making those greasy faces! When I saw them live, I was shocked at how f-ng ROCK they can actually be. It's sort of right on, it just looks bizarre with a studio track.

Man, Rob Crow looks like a late 70's Brian Wilson.

Same thought here! He's acting like he's playing a Slayer song, when, you know, its a Pinback song.

Its like the exact opposite of the Nirvana video for In Bloom where they act all calm and smiley.

I thought pinback broke up like three years ago...?

Great song, not so great video. I'm quite curious on how this new album will be, i see a lot of buzz everywhere. To bad they picked a busy week to launch their album, they'll barely get noticed.

I must admit though... I want Rob Crow's Ghostbuster jumpsuit.
