Towards the end of last year, Canadian garage-punk band Port Juvee released their excellent ‘Crimewave’ EP. Today we are bringing you an exclusive look at the video for the title track from the album.
“For the ‘Crimewave’ video we wanted to combine some of the inspiration we found in the kitsch of old public access television style telethons, with some nods to the underground radio scenes of The Warriors,” say the band of the video. “The entire record was made in a chaotic time in our lives, and the track is about finding opportunities for change in those crazy times where you think everything’s gone wrong.”
“All the live footage was shot in our jam space which is just this little concrete room in Calgary that’s covered with graffiti, which is also the room where we recorded the ‘Crimewave’ EP,” they continue. “A good friend and artist Brieanne Mikuska took care of the live shooting of the video, and we edited it ourselves.”
‘Crimewave’ is available now via Bandcamp, and you can find out more about Port Juvee over at their Facebook page.
