Moving Pictures Epic Ditch, 'Unexploded Ordnance' [Fresh Vid]
Posted by Adam Gold on Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 5:01 PM
When I was 15, at this time of day on Friday, I’d probably be vegging out after-school style with a mall-rat friend or two, ordering up punk rock videos on The Box while waiting for Kurt Loder and Tabitha Soren to tell us about The Week in Rock over at MTV. Remember The Week in Rock? Remember The Box? The Box was like a publicly accessible broadcasting juke box of music videos.
In the early/mid-’90s that was where you were more likely to see rock videos with skateboards in them. Directed by Team Geritol veteran skater Elvis Wilson, the above Epic Ditch clip for “Unexploded Ordnance” — the poppiest number on the band’s forthcoming 36-Hour EP — is a rock video with skateboards in it. It would have fit right in on The Box. Of course, videos don’t appear on television anymore — and I’m no longer a teenager, either. But neither is Hurts to Laugh lead singer/drummer Erik Dail, who is seen rippin’ shit up at the skate park as the band rocks out.

Cool video. Is that outside of Rocketown in downtown Nashville? Keep an eye out for the traveling youth army. One day in downtown Nashville, I saw some youth with backpacks on, skateboarding just down from the Station Inn, headed towards the railroad tracks. I asked them where they were going and they politely answered that they were going back to hop another train to another destination...got off in Nashville by the Station Inn to get some grub. Gotta love the kids of America for being the adventuring kind. More vids of real American kids, please!
