Subject: Valient Thorr Unveils "Exit Strategy" Video; plus fu manchu tour
Posted by: Valient Thorr Unveils "Exit Strategy" Video; plus fu manchu tour by the_reverend

“Exit Strategy” doesn’t mince words – it’s a vicious assault on the Iraq War, the Bush Administration and the seductive logic of militarization, a Fish Cheer for the modern age, that opens with Valient Himself shouting out “They sent your son with a plan / to fight some war in a desert land / he ain’t gonna come home again / he’s making some money for a Texas man.” Think of “Exit Strategy” as an anti-recruitment pitch, a call to arms in a battle of wits, a challenge to those who’ve hijacked our diplomacy.
Think of it as this generation’s protest song.
The music video for “Exit Strategy”, directed by Bifocal Pictures (The Comas, Engine Down) matches the polemical intensity of the song, pairing live-action footage of the band with the cartoons of Brian Walsby (Manchild and countless music related scribbles, most notably the 7 Seconds album cover “Walk Together Rock Together”). Making clever use of Walsby’s cartoon caricatures of political leaders and familiar icons from past and present who reveal themselves for what they really are, Bifocal and Valient Thorr have created a music video that couldn’t have come at more crucial time in our country’s history.
As war-cheerleading persists, even in the face of past mistakes; our only recourse is to howl the truth in the direction of power that "Peaceful progression in the only way!".
