Journalist, author and legendary singer with punk rock band Goldblade, John Robb has posted this rather superb promo of Metalcore band RSJ, over at his excellent blog site Louder than War. As John explains this fine promo is for RSJ’s new single, “Collectively We Are Tall”,  in which York’s finest destroy “the crappy dance video from 2004 for Eric Prydz’s Call On Me”.

“All the dance moves we do in our version are the same as the original but they’ve been choreographed to fit our music,” said guitarist Vaughn Thomas. “We liked the idea of the contrast between how serious our music is to how silly the visuals are. It’s different and entertaining, so people want to watch it and share it with friends.”

The idea for the video came from the band themselves, and was directed, edited and filmed by Matt Huxford.
