The Violent Hour, the band fronted by Carla Harvey (Lords Of Acid, ex-Butcher Babies, etc.), have premiered a new video for their song “Sex And Cigarettes.” You can check that out below. The track appears on the band’s debut self-titled EP.
Harvey said the following about the single:
“‘Sex And Cigarettes’ was the first song I wrote for The Violent Hour EP. It’s fun, sexy, and a full-throttle riot-grrrl love letter to chaos and chemistry.”
She also commented on the video:
“For the video, I wanted to capture that energy and the instant camaraderie we had as a band in a modern, Russ Meyer-esque fever dream that turns a simple road trip to a gig into absolute madness. I enlisted director Nathan Mowery to bring the vision to life. He’s not only a filmmaker but also a wrestler, so I knew he’d nail the finale I imagined. I write all my own video treatments and personally scouted most of the locations — from Circus Liquor to L.A.’s infamous Mustang Motel. Even tracking down that badass red convertible was part of the adventure. The final cut is exactly how I dreamed it — gritty, sexy and a little unhinged… just like the song.”
Guitarist Allie Kaye continued:
“We hadn’t been a band for very long before filming the video, but spending a full day together to shoot these killer scenes brought us closer together as a group.”
Guitarist Kiana De Leon also chimed in:
“The energy on the set of our first music video was truly unforgettable. Every moment filming felt less like work and more like hanging out with your friends, everyone just naturally vibed with each other. The chemistry was instant, and we all clicked as a whole. It was all good vibes, start to finish, and you can truly feel that excitement in every single scene.”
Drummer Sasha DeLeon added:
“If you’re not having fun with your band mates, then what are you doing?”
Bassist Jewel Steele concluded:
“I never had so much fun filming a music video. My favorite part was Carla driving the 63’ Ford Falcon Futura all around LA while we were rocking out and having a blast!”
