Atlanta rock ‘n’ roll punks BITERS have finished shooting a brand new music video for the track “Restless Hearts”, which appears on their forthcoming debut album ‘Electric Blood’. Filmed with the band’s long-time director Video Rahim (MASTODON) on location in their hometown of Atlanta, Georgia over a period of four days, the video for “Restless Hearts” spits in the face of safe, sanitised modern music and reminds viewers that hedonistic rock excess is still alive and kicking. Check out some behind-the-scenes photos from the video shoot at http:\/\/bit.ly\/1KRjMGS
Director Video Rahim describes some of the high jinks which occurred:<\/p>\n

“‘Restless Hearts’ is my fifth video with the Biters.\u00a0 I love working with them because they trust me and allow me to be creative.\u00a0 This video is their best yet because it pulls the viewer into the rock ‘n’ roll world of the Biters.<\/p>\n

“During the shoot, we mounted a camera to the front of a car to capture footage of Tuk and the band.\u00a0 They drove off with the camera and shortly thereafter I received a call from Tuk saying he had been pulled over and thought he was going to jail.\u00a0 I had to rush down and talk to the police officers to keep Tuk from being arrested.<\/p>\n

“Later that night we were filming in the back of the Cadillac, and he jumped on the trunk and started singing ‘Restless Hearts’ while it was going 45mph down the road.\u00a0 It was a holiday weekend and cops were everywhere.\u00a0 It was an incredible shot and too dangerous for most people to attempt to pull off.\u00a0 It’s also not something I would ask bands I work with to do on a music video shoot, but it’s the kind of thing that naturally happens with the Biters.\u00a0 I don’t have to ask them to do these things.\u00a0 I just make sure I’m there to capture it and make it worth while.\u00a0 Working with the Biters is exciting because you never know what they are going to do next.”<\/p>\n
