570 Knives Video Premiere with Danny Attack

Jacksonville, FL based punk band Knives are sharing the official music video for their newest song on the podcast and on their Youtube channel.

A note from Danny Attack about the video:

“Hey everyone Danny Attack of KNIVES here and we are super stoked to debut our new single/mashup cover video !!! This track is a medley of a Taylor Swift and 2 Blink 182 songs.

Originally this was supposed to be shot on my Ray Ban Meta Glasses POV style, but unfortunately I realized that was the one thing I forgot as soon as I got to the studio sooo we did it on my iPhone instead !

Super Big Shout out to you Mike and Bob for the continuous love and helping to premier this and to the Sponsors Ernie Ball and Epoch Empire, we hope you enjoy and that this gets stuck in your brain holes…have a Knives Day !!!”
