On first listen of the ladies-baiting lead single from recent Sub Pop signees the Go! Team, we heard wild sonics and '80s cadences and really didn't see this vid coming. The technicolor troupe deletes the technicolor, instead offering something black, white, and ostensibly militant and political: check the air raid sirens, allusions to a past time of instrusive cops (working those old-school uniforms), power-to-the-peoplehands and fists, and some disturbingly white-paper-bagged shotgun/guitarists. And the likeness to former Black Panther Party National Secretary Of Communications Kathleen Neal Cleaver is too much to miss. Our college profs would be proud.
Different kind of a Party-starter from the Team. Their latest, Proof Of Youth, is out 9/11 on Sub Pop. Tracklist after the jump.
