Pile have released a video for the hidden track off this year’s You’re Better Than This, “Rock and Roll Forever With The Customer in Mind”, directed by local favorites Ethan Long and Adric Giles. Although the title makes no illusions about the band’s totally legitimate quest for mass appeal, the video is a fever dream of deviant bikers still in elementary school, boat crashes, flashing lights, and a lot of other things my grandparents get nervous about. But seriously though, we’ll probably continue supporting Pile even when they land that guest judge spot on The Voice.
Pile is currently on tour and will be until summer (potentially) decides to grace us with its presence. Details are below.
