Watch: Trevor Green "Lonesome Road"

Check out the sensational music of artist Trevor Green, whose music has been called a “musical breath of fresh air.” With classic styles that invoke vast elements of world music, classic folk rock, and jam bands, Green’s music questions everything and brings music listeners closer to the center of their being. HIP Video Promo is pleased to introduce his latest clip, “Lonesome Road.”

Trevor Green, a California native, grew up on the beaches of Southern California where he spends as much time riding waves as he does playing the guitar. For the past decade, he has toured heavily, establishing a loyal fan base. Fusing world, funk, folk, and jam rock, Trevor Green’s music has a strong universal appeal.

After previously releasing independent album recordings entitled Wake and Reflections, and his third studio album Sacred Seed, this versatile artist makes use of vocals, didgeridoo, stompbox, harmonica, and five different guitar/string instruments. Green’s most recent notable accomplishment includes recording three songs for the major motion picture This Must Be the Place, starring Sean Penn.

The release of his third studio album Sacred Seed showed his prolific abilities as a songwriter and music performer. Straight from his most recent EP Collide comes “Lonesome Road,” which takes listeners on a journey through places that have become stuck in time. In the clip, Green captivates his audience and delivers a spellbinding performance that excites the importance of finding meaning in human existence. Relying heavy on the sound of the didgeridoo, an instrument often seen by Western audiences as a mere novelty, Green crafts a complex layering of sight and sound that lets the viewer race through the desert landscape of the video, hitting his stride early and never letting up until the last chord.

Watch: nECSTATIC iNCREDIBLE “Perpetually Insane”

nECSTATIC iNCREDIBLE is an original studio project launched in 2008 by the composer, poet and instrumentalist Nicolas Wind, and a multinational cast of outstanding musicians. HIP Video Promo cannot be more excited to introduce his newest music video clip, “Perpetually Insane.”

The style of his first, experimental album SOMEONE WILL MAKE IT FOR ME can be described as pop rock that utilizes some of the basic elements of baroque and rococo music, such as polyphony and instrumentation. The second album BEATIFIC DISASTERS IN 3071 aimed at the devastating impact of capitalism on an individual, such as deprivation of privacy, mind-control, consumerism, brainwash, etc. taken from various angles.

nECSTATIC iNCREDIBLE’s dominant music style is a twisted collage of various rock genres. A new, live album, THE GO(O)DS MUST BE CRAZY is in a hard rock style. While still in the works, it is currently being thought to reflect political, religious and demographic aspects of our society. The following video “Perpetually Insane” emanates these exact ideas while exhibiting a highly contemporary, thought-provoking experience.

Director Richard Holland transposes the intellect and style that is behind the genius of Nicolas Wind’s music in “Perpetually Insane.” Starring a unique aspiring talent, Christopher Webster, the clip displays trying times and questions authority, all the while creating a stimulating atmosphere for the viewer. The song itself proves to be a transition in the music scene, taking the old elements of music and mixing them with new-age vibes.


Introducing Mighty Matt Saladino

The idea that a Zombie apocalypse could actually occur in the modern world sometime in our near future is a contemporary theme throughout today’s culture, and Mighty Matt Saladino proves how this fantastic trend continues to inspire new and creative ways to view the end of the world.

In his creative animated music video, charm, wit and humor emerge to exemplify this lasting phenomenon. HIP Video Promo is pleased to introduce the tantalizingly Zombified animated music video clip, “Zombie Killer NYC.”

With the help of AMC’s popular television series The Walking Dead, society has become enthralled with the thought of a possible zombie apocalypse. Mighty Matt Saladino; however, puts a lighthearted spin on this sometimes-serious genre. Two versions of the tune exist: “Zombie Killer NYC” and “Zombie Killer” (Electric Club Remix). Both musical versions are unique unto themselves to say the least, but it is by far the outlandishly creative and entertaining music video which is written, produced, arranged, directed and even performed in animated character by Mighty Matt Saladino himself, that sets this animated music video far above the rest.
