Loud Mouths - Wise Blood from Young Replicant on Vimeo.
We have been patiently waiting for and wondering if Wise Blood's "Loud Mouths" would get a video or a release of any kind. The track was an absolute standout from last years excellent EP 'These Wings'. The video was directed by Alex Takacs and Joe Nankin and produced by Christian Heuer/Stray Angel Films. The video is stunning, the track is brilliant, we can't wait for more Wise Blood.
