New Via Audio Video - "Presents"

From crooning along with Of Montreal to nights out with the New Pornos, indie rock can't get enough of irony-tickled karaoke. And picking up where the Blow's faux-drunken singalong clip for "Parenthesis" left off (and Stellastarr* before them), steady buzzing Berklee grads Via Audio go the full 'roake for the funtastic "Presents." The band's in there in shots, but admittedly this one belongs to their friend, Yohei. Dude kills it during the final seconds' "instrumental" break. Sing along!

The track comes from bands forthcoming saysomething, out 9/25 on SideCho. Some bonus Via Audio audio...

Via Audio - "We Can Be Good" (MP3)

The band says the "Presents" clip was inspired in part by karaoke-staple Journey. For your comparative pleasure...
