Don’t Miss Cheena’s Fun Claymation Video for ‘Lost My Way’
The world needs a Band-Aid. Or, if nothing else, a nice heaping plate of "comfort food" in the form of a great song. It's the reason why punk flourished in the '80s and grunge in the '90s, and why legions of people flock to music as escapism.
Cheena rip. The punk all-star team — featuring members of Hank Wood & the Hammerheads, Crazy Spirit, Dawn of Humans, Anasazi and Pharmakon — is a virtual who's-who of every band important to NYC punk right now. And while the quintet avoids the limited trappings of the genre, the spirit can't help but shine through, even with the heaping doses of melodicism and strong songwriting. "Lost My Way" is typical of the band's approach: Take a proto-punk or glam song structure and dress it up in modern punk attitude, sprinkle in embellishments like slide guitar, and you have a whole new look.
Their new Robin Pak-directed video isn't so much a new look as it is a incredibly classic one. Using the fine art of claymation, "Lost My Way" would be a fun excursion to watch even if the song wasn't so damn good. Take the time to catch it, because we all know you could use a pick-me-up right about now.
