They have been in countless Chicago bands, and continue to split their time with several noteworthy, exceptional bands, including Naked Raygun, The Methadones and Four Star Alarm.

He really brought out the best in the band and songs, amplifying and directing, especially in the vocal harmonies and melodies. Pezzati turned in vocals on the last Paint It Black album, and Dan Yemin returns the favor here. Bob Nanna (Braid, Hey Mercedes) also lends his inimitable pipes to the mix.

Tumbledown, the project from Mike Herrera of MxPx, have posted the second music video from their End Sounds 2009 release, Tumbledown.

The video was directed by Dallas-based Joe the Visualist to create their interpretation of a classic comic book from the 60’s (Eerie Comics). Herrera illustrates the song as “the story of a vigilante priest out for revenge. It’s a comic book, pulp-style story and is definitely set apart from our other songs. It’s seedy and sleezy, just the way I like it. I think anyone can get into a story of murder and revenge. Don’t you?”
