The Boxer Rebellion have posted an official video for ‘Weapon‘ – a neat companion piece to the previous cut for first ‘Ocean By Ocean‘ single ‘Big Ideas’, both courtesy of director Adam Avilla and filmed in Hollywood.
“I wanted to create a visual dance between the two characters who are both each other’s salvation as well as each other’s demise,” Avilla says. “The song and story lent itself to the classic archetypes of the grizzled detective and the femme fatale; both strong but troubled characters who carry a cloud of doom about them.”
“We recorded much of the album in Los Angeles and wanted to preserve some of that atmosphere in the album artwork and the video story that links Big Ideas to Weapon,” the band adds.
“Adam Avilla’s vision captures not only the SoCal feeling but also addresses the noiresque aspects of the songs themselves.”
