The Riot Before recently shot a music video for their song “Backstage Rooms” from their new studio album “Rebellion”, released in April on Paper + Plastick. The video, directed by Lucas Krost was shot in their hometown of Richmond, VA this past May and should see the light of day later this summer.

Bassist Corry Manning had this to comment on the details of the video:

“We shot the video all day at Brett’s house. We started at about noon and went until 4 in the morning We were using smoke machines in the house and the ADT went off and about 4 fire trucks showed up. We had to explain to the firemen “its cool, we are shooting a video”.. It was one of the longest, most stressful days of my life. The worst part is, that we still have one more shot to get, but I did get to play dice, so that was cool but I lost a lot of money…not so cool. The concept of the video is the concept of the song. Once you do something enough times it starts to become routine and isn’t as cool anymore. So, the video starts out as the biggest and best raging party you have been to and ends up as the lamest worst party ever… bummer.”

You can check out some behind the scenes footage of the video being filmed here.

The band has also released a donation based download of a B-side from “Rebellion” entitled “Blank Slate.” All money raised from the download will go to support the organization These Numbers Have Faces. You can go to the charity’s website to download the song and hear a personal message from Brett Adams of The Riot Before about his involvement and support for These Numbers Have Faces.

If you haven’t heard “Rebellion”, it’s currently being streamed on the band’s Punknews.org profile.

“Rebellion” was tracked at The Magpie Cage in Washington, DC with legendary producer J. Robbins (Jawbox, Jawbreaker, Against Me!).
