NYC stoner rock/doom rock unit, Kings Destroy, have unveiled a brand new video for the track “Smokey Robinson.” Check out the video in the player above. Shot by Pit Full Of Shit’s Frank Huang at their official record release show earlier this year at Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus Bar, the tune comes by way of the band’s self-titled War Crime Recordings-issued full-length.
Of the latest clip, vocalist Steve Murphy comments:
Our previous videos always had storylines, so this time we bring you a live sampling of the band. It made sense to have it filmed at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, New York, on our record release show because that place is home to us much like CBGB was home to our hardcore bands. The people at Saint Vitus have nurtured us from our early days. We also chose Frank Huang to produce it. Frank is in the process of documenting the heavy scene in NYC like no one else. His work is important and down the road it will be Frank who will be recognized for his tireless contribution to our scene. I did not tell the band that we were doing this video so it’s a true representation of Kings Destroy live. The words of the song have darker undertones about the problems we have with racial equality in our country. The words play off the more upbeat tempo of the song.
Kings Destroy can be ordered here!
