How refreshing to see a music video that isn’t three minutes of slowly buffering and ultimately mind-bending CGI. The videos we cherish are always a combination of great idea plus low budget – which is what makes this new one for White Fence so perfect. Why has no one thought about putting a lead singer of a band in a prison for a music video before? I love the idea that no matter how much we worship bands and frontmen, if you threw them in the clanger for even an hour they wouldn’t last five minutes.
In this refreshingly funny music video from Forest City Rockers – who describe themselves as “not the sharpest tools in the shed, but they always have a good time” – we see Tim Presley experiencing jail as a frontman; strumming his guitar in the yard, drawing tattoos, smoking contraband fags and getting the living shit beaten out of him. So simple, so hilarious, and a perfect video accompaniment to a great song. If only all music video directors got it this right.
