July 19, 2016

The quite eclectic and unique band, Fable Cry who have successfully captured the attention of listeners with their theatrical scamp rock are ready to do it all again with their great new video for Dead or Alive (For Now). The vibrant yet spooky song is off their recent album, We’ll Show You Where the Monsters Are. The video is by by Surly Urchin Studios and you can check it out here: This is a band that brings to life colorful and imagery through their use of cello, violin in addition to an array of non traditional rock instruments. Their vaudevillian style is almost like a fusion of Foxy Shazam, Queen and Danny Elfman and their refreshing sound is quickly garnering a lot of great attention.
