I first discovered retro synthwave band Gunship through the claymation video director Lee Hardcastle created for their song "Tech Noir" three years ago. I loved both the video and the song, so I bought Gunship's CD and have listened to their music frequently since the summer of 2015. I've been looking forward to hearing news of another Gunship album – and now that news has arrived, along with another epic video for one of their songs.
Scheduled for release on October 6, 2018, the second Gunship album is called Dark All Day, and the (mostly) animated video for the title track is a collision of genre properties: the band Gunship, singer Indiana, and legendary saxophone player Tim Cappello are playing a gig in Santa Carla, the setting of THE LOST BOYS, and given the venue they have brought along the perfect security team: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Blade, and FROM DUSK TILL DAWN's Seth Gecko – who even gets to use his jackhammer stake.
Kiefer Sutherland's THE LOST BOYS character is in there, the Frog brothers are hanging around… there are even appearances by Tom Savini's codpiece gun from FROM DUSK TILL DAWN and a PREDATOR wrist bomb.
And while we witness all of this awesomeness, we also get to hear a cool song.
Check out the video for "Dark All Day" below, and if you'd like to pre-order a copy of the album, head over to Gunship's official site.
