Well, the old fuckin’ day job, which persists in being a jealous mistress, has got me traveling again. That will put a crimp in my output for the next few days. Fortunately, other folks are stepping up to provide the content. And you know what happens when you put a crimp in a garden hose and then let it go. Just wait ’til I get uncrimped!
But, as crimped as I am, I had to make time for this new video. You remember RZYZYXR, don’t you? Sure you do! We featured them here only 6 weeks ago. How could you forget an eye-catching, palindromic name like that? I’m still not sure exactly how to pronounce the name. I’m just calling them sexy, because listening to their music is like . . . well, you know.
We’ve been waiting eagerly for their new music video for a song called “Nonzero”, and I got an eagerly awaited e-mail from the band this morning with news that it’s finally out. The verdict? Well, let’s just say that groups like Textures and CiLiCe need to move over and make room, because they’ve got some blazing new company.
Unlike the first video, it appears that for this one the instrumentalists in the band (who are overseas — Russia, I think) managed to get in the same room with their talented Florida-based vocalist Thomas Wills. The only unfortunate part about that is it appears they killed him. Back to the drawing board! I’ll tell you what — this song is fuckin’ killing me, too! It’s just unadulterated awesomeness. Watch it after the jump.
You like that? If so, go show the band some support at one or more of these places:

It should be noted that this is a reworked version of “Iwrestledapolarbeartwice” from their free EP. Quite awesome. The last minute and a half of this song is how you do an outro.
I like it, despite that I’m hearing a few off notes in the clean vocals here and there. They’re masked pretty well
About this Djenty stuff in general and this counting as an exception, who else thinks it’s wearing off rather fast? There so much of the stuff coming out these days and only a few bands really manage to retain my attention after a few plays.
