One of the things my parents and grandparents would complain about people of my generation when were kids was that we didn’t spend enough time outside. Too much time indoors, sprawled in front of the “tube” as they used to say (even after TVs stopped having vacuum tubes). Well if they wouldn’t have played Aaahh!!! Real Monsters during the day, I may have spent more time out on the jungle gym. Those things are pretty dangerous though. I think if I had gotten it in my dead to go hang out in a graveyard as a kid, I probably would have gotten in the exercise I needed while still embracing my budding interest in the macabre.
I guess what I’m saying, is I wish I had been raised by fuzz-bomb, post-hardcore group Outside.
Outside are a very talented Ohio group who just released a video for their song “Woodland Cemetary,” filmed on location. There is nagging darkness and sadness to their material that is really compelling and we’re pretty stoked to premiere their latest video below:
The song “Woodland Cemetary” will appear on Outside’s upcoming LP Green In You on November 27 through Head2Wall Records. The video was filmed and edited by Elizabeth Gordon.
On the making of the strange and strangely serene video for their new song, drummer and vocalist Evin Daniels offered the follow:
“Woodland Cemetery is where my grandparents, Bette Daniels (Sept. 25, 2004) and Troy ‘Poppy’ Daniels (Sept. 1, 2015), are buried; hence the family stone being spotlighted in the video. My Poppy as well as my great grandfather, Walter Daniels, handled the grounds keeping at the cemetery back when my father was a kid. The song is about me being 28 and desperately falling back to my childhood and memories of when they were alive. The kid in the video, my niece Everleigh, represents myself being close to them which is symbolized by her comfort and joy while playing in the cemetery with her favorite Pee Wee Herman doll.”
