Failsafe
Produced by director Tim Fox (Kids In Glass Houses, SIkth), “A Common Goal” sees the band draining the colour out of their city while rocking out the song. After the huge success of previous video “Hope” - which saw the band steal a Number One spot on the MTV2 MySpace charts - the band are confident this new effort will fair as well if not better.
“We absolutely love playing 'A Common Goal' in our set so it makes perfect sense for us to release it as a our next single,” comments singer Jim Norris. “Tim has managed to capture a different vibe altogether in the footage. He had a strong vision of what he wanted to achieve in this video and I think he's managed it amazingly.
“The guy is awesome at animation too and in some parts it looks like we're rocking out in the middle of Metal Gear Solid or something! The visuals tie in well with the artwork to our latest record, with lots of light trails, darkess and light, and in a lot of respects is completely contrasting to the first video, which is only a good thing in my opinion.”
“A Common Goal” should hit the small screens just around the time the band set of for a run of dates to support the new single. Says Jim; “Our headline tour plans for June have turned out to look great, and we're all stoked to get back on English turf again.
“We get to play some cool events this summer too like Face down and Ghost fest, which will give us the exposure we've been working hard for and need right now. I'm urging Failsafe fans to come out and show their faces on this next stretch of gigs, we're hitting up some venues we've never played in before so it would be amazing to get rowdy and rock it up with you all! See you on the road, all of you!
