Earlier in the month, Oh Look Out release their first video off the album for the track ‘Monster Fiction‘.  That video was super rad with all the talking 80s action figures but the new video for ‘Velcro Wolf‘ is for the animation lovers as it takes you into the world of 8-bit video games and reminds you of Summers spent playing Nintendo or Sega.  Follow the main character of the video chase their lost brain and turn into a wolf in the process!  Can the main character catch their brain before its too late?  Watch and see this stunning video animated and directed by JP.  Click HERE to check it out!

As always, thank you for supporting good music and stopping by the website.  Keep coming back to check out new updates from The Loyalty Firm roster and expect more videos, free mp3s, awesome live shows and more.

Have a great Halloween tomorrow!
