Soundgarden have premiered their brand new video for second single ‘By Crooked Steps’, plus a behind the scenes clip. The video, conceived and directed by friend and fan Dave Grohl, depicts the “Crooked Steps” gang, aka Soundgarden, cruising around the tough streets of LA, with a sly cop played by none other than Deadmau5. Dave said about approaching the band to direct the video, “I had an idea. I got a copy of the record and the third song ‘By Crooked Steps’ was a signature, instantly recognizable Soundgarden song”, and the rest was history.
‘King Animal’ is Soundgarden’s first album in over 15 years. The album was co-produced by the band and Adam Kasper at Studio X in Seattle and was released on November 12th to rave reviews from peers, fans and critics alike. Making waves at radio, first single, ‘Been Away Too Long’, topped the Active Rock charts in the US for 5 weeks.
Soundgarden are currently on a sold-out Winter 2013 tour in support of ‘King Animal’, performing across the country including two-night engagements in New York City, Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, and a three-night run in Los Angeles. The band have announced they will be headlining this year’s MMR-BQ and will perform at Rock on the Range. Both Soundgarden and Chris Cornell also performed at the esteemed Inauguration earlier this month, celebrating a new term for President Obama. It’s been a non-stop, victorious whirlwind since the band reformed over two years ago.
