Happy Halloween! Watch the Interactive Zombie-Killing Guinevere "Ran For My Life" Music Video

For many of us reading this we are familiar with the phrase “choose your own adventure.” You follow the story and then you reach a certain point when you are able to choose whether you go down the stairs or climb the fire escape, or something of that nature. Flip the page to the designated spot and off you go! For her new video “Ran For My Life,” Toronto’s Guinevere took this to the next level and has actually created a music video where you the viewer get to choose how you dispose of zombies on the attack!

Watch: TIME WILL TELL "It Could Be Worse" Lyric Video

Check out Time Will Tell's lyric video for their BRAND NEW single "It Could Be Worse" featuring Nick Thompson of Hit The Lights! The amazing official music video drops Tuesday and we're STOKED!!


yell for help "Love Will Keep Us Together" Music Video Premiere on ArtistDirect.com!

L.A.’s yell for help has a simple bio that speaks volumes about the group. It says “Born on the same day on opposite ends of the country, Mike Pappas and Fann are yell for help, an American alternative/pop duo with industrial and ambient influences. They were introduced by a mutual friend in the summer of 2012 and have hated each other ever since.”

Yell for help mixes alternative, pop, industrial, and ambient vibes with no difficulty whatsoever.
Love Will Keep Us Together is anchored by a Pretty Hate Machine-esque backbeat and breakdown main riff while both Mike and Fann trade vocals duties on top of it, which carries into the scaled back chorus proclaiming that “love will keep us together.” It’s an infectious ride of musical peaks and valleys from front to end, showcasing their individual and collaborative talents.

For the corresponding video they’ve pulled out all of the stops to make something on par with their musical aesthetic. Shot in a traditional 4×3 aspect ratio, the clip focuses heavily on Mike and Fann performing in front of the camera in a variety of settings, sporting an industrial look with a hint of thriller movie scenes. Think the movie Brazil with technology gone awry and the music grabbing and transporting the listener to a state of bliss. Dark rooms and bright lights contribute to the dichotomy of this organic pile of discarded technology that is being used to rope in the listener.

Introducing... Guinevere

For many of us reading this we are familiar with the phrase “choose your own adventure.” You follow the story and then you reach a certain point when you are able to choose whether you go down the stairs or climb the fire escape, or something of that nature. Flip the page to the designated spot and off you go! For her new video “Ran For My Life,” Toronto’s Guinevere took this to the next level and has actually created a music video where you the viewer get to choose how you dispose of zombies on the attack!

This isn’t likely a surprise to those who have followed Guinevere, a dark pop diva with the soul of an admitted Star Trek fan and gaming geek, and also named after the legendary Lady of the Round Table. She also plays hockey and counts some of the NHL’s best as her biggest fans of her music. For her, action and adventure is in her blood! No surprise that as a performer she possesses a unique ability to take the stage and make it her own, transforming from the self-described “shy, polite” girl next door into a larger-than-life pop icon. She released her debut solo album on her own Nuke Town Records (a nod to Call of Duty, naturally) and eventually caught the eye of an array of industry professionals who have guided her to the coveted roster of Tommy Boy Entertainment.

2013 is proving to be a huge success for Guinevere, having hit top 10 on Billboard’s Dance Charts and is currently climbing the Top 40 charts with no signs of abatement with her single ‘Fly Away’, produced by Cirkut. Guinevere’s rendition of “Missed Calls” by hip-hop’s newest star Mac Miller, illustrates Guinevere’s depth as an artist. She’s also toured with Nick Carter across the east coast of America, played Miami’s Winter Music Festival, toured Europe, and played over 200 shows across all of the US this past year.
When it came time to make a music video for new single “Ran For My Life” Guinevere channeled her inner gamer and hatched the idea of the interactive music video. The video is set with Guinevere trapped in a house swarming with zombies and her only chance to escape is to fight her way out. Click here for Guinevere's artist page on HIP Video Promo.
