POWER TRIP Frontman RILEY GALE Discusses His Lyrics - “Maybe Some Of It Is A Little Fantastical, But It Always Ties Back In To The Real World”; Video
April 4, 2017, 7 years ago
In the new video below, Power Trip frontman Riley Gale talks to BangerTV's Daniel Dekay about keeping their sound catchy and raw and keeping your spirits up in a bleak world.
Power Trip's new video for "Executioner's Tax (Swing Of The Axe)" takes us front and centre, into the eye of what is guaranteed to be a perfect storm time and time again. The footage, captured at a spirited hometown show in Dallas melts with clips of political propaganda which encompass vocalist Riley Gale's lyrics that hone in on the devaluation of human life by those who've gained power through money and politics. The video was directed by Andy Capper (Vice, Noisey) with director of photography Joel Pront, and editor Andrew Betsch.
