We have some exciting news to share with all of our rock n roll lovers. One of our favorite singers is back and ready to take you on a wild ride with his new video. Spencer Krasch released a cinematic epic music video for his kick ass song, Golden Legs this week. He comments about the video: I had never seen a rock video in the 1700’s era before, and never seen a rock video with a horse chase scene, so that is what really made me want to do this style video. I was completely motivated to try and give the people who love my music something they could be proud of supporting, and I am no where near finished yet. This is not an end, but the first step in my comeback to music. I have more tricks hidden up my sleeve. Originally this video was going to have an equal girl:girl:guy ratio, but I decide that the video would be much more enjoyable without all the other guys. Check out the [Read More]
