36 CRAZYFISTS: “HEY GUYS, WE’RE FROM ALASKA!!”

So, 36 Crazyfists released a new video for “We Gave it Hell,” from their forthcoming May 27th release The Tide and Its Takers (Ferret). I’m neither here nor there about this band — they’re not really all that good, but they certainly aren’t bad either, and I can’t quite fathom the hype that seems to exist around them. Is there actually hype, or is it just publicist-created goulash?

Whatever the case, as I’ve written about before, every single press release or article I read about 36 Crazyfists seems to harp on the fact that they’re from Alaska (even though they live in Portland, OR now) and this video is no different. “SNOWMOBILES!! WE’RE FROM ALASKA!! THAT GIVES US CRED, RIGHT?? SNOWMOBILES ARE METAL!!”

Sigh.

Watch the video below.
