Forget the Box and Indie Montreal are proud to present the exclusive Canadian video premier of Psychocide’s Mr Suit.

This four-piece, originally from Brooklyn and now based on Montreal, offer a catchy blend of rock, punk and metal. They will be premiering a new album, Alcohol & Bad Decisions, March 2nd and a related comic book later this spring.

Each song on the album focuses on a different fictional character and the first up, in this new video, is Mr Suit. The band will be officially launching it tomorrow (Saturday, February 18th) at Barfly, 4062A Boul St-Laurent with Young Critters and Call Me Steve, but we have an exclusive first watch.

We invite you to check out the new video from original Canadian artist Amber out of Toronto. She also happens to be an FTB contributor. The song, Grave Robber, is from her new album Tall Tales, which you can listen to or download via her Bandcamp page.

The video, directed by Devon Stewart, was shot in Hamilton. It features some fun though creepy imagery (with a title like Grave Robber, how could it not), silhouettes, a complicated man and a very danceable tune courtesy of Amber. Enjoy!

Scarification can be quite an intense and painful process (even more than getting a tattoo). Staying in character while filming a music video can be a challenge. Staying in character for a music video while getting artistic scarification work done? You’d have to ask Jeannie Taylor.

Better yet, you can watch the lead singer of Montreal-based Curse in the Woods do just that. In the new music video for the song Rebecca’s Photograph, Taylor does her front person duties all the while getting real scarification work done.

It’s quite intense, but at the same time kind of serene, thanks to the melodic nature of the song. Have a look and give a listen:

Socially and politically conscious Montreal rapper Jay Manafest has released a new video for his song Gas Lands. The song is a lyrical attack on the Harper regime working for big oil and suppressing legitimate protest.

The video contains powerful images of environmental destruction, police attacks and resistance. It is also raising money for the legal defence fund established to support the latest round of Mi’kmaq activists arrested in Elsipogtog. You can donate through jaymanafest.com
