Video: Hadouken! - MAD / Turn The Lights Out


It's weird. I'm not sure how Hadouken! plan to release singles off their new album. They have been silent for about year then all of a sudden thrown a heap of material at us. James, the singer and songwriter invited me to watch a live "twitvid" stream of him making B-sides from their Japanese EP's, because "it helps in the sales". I don't blame him. It was very intriguing, how a midi keyboard and a music programme, can make a simple song very quickly. Anyway, I unofficially helped to write part of the song by suggesting some riff variations. Which I find amazing.

Anyway, the videos. They have released 3 videos! 2 viral videos for MAD (which they offered as a free download on tier website), one being a video of youtubes greatest hits, and another which is a bit....mad.
It's a mouse, who is basically a chav, dry humping girls, kicking sticks away from Grannies, getting boozed up on pikey cider than having his face kicked in! I think it'll be one of those videos that isn't shown Until after 8PM.

Still good effort though. Ironic, disturbing, yet to a degree true. Here is the 2nd video:


The next video is Turn the lights out... Now, im not so excited about this. Its a poor song and a boring video really. I think they have taken a lot of influence off The Prodigy and the lyrics are a bit suspect in both songs. However, im still excited for the new album. Which you can pre-order from Hadouken!'s website for £6 Only and it will be signed by the band! Get on it!
