A Story Beneath releases new video for “All in My Head”

August 1, 2013

One of my favorite bands that I told you about in a post back in May that includes an interview with Phil Goff, has recently released a video for their kick ass song, “All in My Head” which is from their new EP Beneath the Skin, and you can check it out here: A Story Beneath is an incredible band from Santa Clarita, California. Phil Goff is on Guitar and Vocals, Toddy Libby on Bass and Keys, and Markus Flick on drums. These three guys come together with driving rhythms, melodic chords blended with some powerful rock reminiscent of Silverchair, early Tool and Incubus but they definitely have a sound of their own. Once you start listening to them, believe me, you might not stop. I told you about one of my Go To songs which is “Chamelion”. This song just gets up in me and has me revived in an instant. You can get their new EP right on CDBaby here. So make sure to check them on their social media sites and check out their new [Read More]
