'Incapacitated' - the raz, 2007

Directed / Produced by K.Walker / J.Smith / A Gandhi / M.Tips

This video is all self produced by the band and has cost us nothing to make. We think it looks alright, feel free to leave us a comment if you do to or have any suggestions for future ones. We wanted to capture the feeling of one of our nights out and the next day etc as we reckon videos are better telling some kind of story, and thats what the song is about, us gettin wrecked in town every weekend! Just shows you dont always need a million quid to get a half decent vid. Cheers for looking at it anyway if you do.

Reviews
Riding on the cusp of a new wave of electronic indie rock comes Liverpool four piece, The Raz. Still unsigned, but with a whole host of explicit demos ready to be waved under record labels noses it won't take too long to be acquired.Forefront tracks like Frustration give a clear definition of the term "scuzz rock". With its stop, start mechanism, the synths and effects are left to find a space where they can fit into the song without disrupting the bludgeoning guitar riffs.Face Ache is much more electronic driven. The keys and synths are running parallel with the guitars to form this double-headed behemoth of electronic rock virtuoso.

......describe some of things we do in life... some things we are proud of.... and some things we that we wish we didnt do but we keep on doing......its to remind you of some of people that we meet and have to put up with and they are not very nice and dont deserve your attention....and the people we are glad we meet.....for the endless quest to find the things that will make us complete......the money, the house, the car...... these are not really that important.......to help you us all that we must take action to get out of situations where we feel like we are going round in circles.....acknowledge your insecurities and dont let them bring you down.......enjoy your friends....enjoy your life....respect people.......get drunk.....and smile........
