I’m a very lucky girl. I got to spend my day with one of my favourite bands, Anchoress, on their new music video shoot for PARTY HARD. Not only is their music killer, but they are the coolest, most down to earth, hilarious gentlemen you could ever meet. A huge thanks to the wonderful, Denyss McKnight, for bringing that much awesome in our lives. Cannot wait to share the video and new album with you, guys. It’ll make you want to party hard (for realz) -Sylv

Today, Elective releases its first music video to the cryptically named 'Stitch Up of Bloody Mary'. The video features contemporary dancer, Lucy Rupert, as she invokes her own Bloody Mary through her dance in her studio space. Unique to her movement, she creates a character that is as much a part of the lyrics and sound that she expresses through motion. Please enjoy! The credits are as follows:

This year, in celebration of Women In Horror Recognition Month, we were lucky enough to have the band write an anthem for our Massive Blood Drive. We didn't know what we would get - we wanted something that would give people the courage and enthusiasm to forgo their dislike of small pricks to give their plasma this year. We got something more amazing than we could have ever dreamed - 'We Want Your Blood' was epic.
Now see the band as they created this fantastic track. The Scarlet Ending is:
I can't tell you more, but really keep your eye on this talented group. I have a feeling you're going to see them and their music popping up all over the place in the upcoming month. Nice, skilled, and rad - some of the best people on the planet!
A very talented group and Malcolm is one of the coolest dudes ever. If you like what you hear, check out more of their music, and pass it along to your friends!
Here is the second music video for the very talented and charismatic band, The Scarlet Ending. The song is 'Phoenix' off their second album, 'Ghosts'. These folks are the real deal - so genuinely sweet and kind, so creative and interesting, and completely self-sacrificing to make their dreams come true. Please check them out and pass it along to your cool friends. This band is going to be huge, one member has be approached by American Idol... trust us, you're going to be hearing and seeing a lot from them!
Now, allow me if you will, to introduce you to the talent that came together to create this video and a little more information on the band.
"Taken off of their sophomore album release "Ghosts," The Scarlet Ending's single "Phoenix" is played against a loose nod to F.451 featuring David Barkes, David Lovgren & Katrin Bowen as The Fireman.

Thank you for all your support, girls and boys. I often imagine your little faces glowing from the computer screen, reading our diary, and it always makes me smile.
These wonderful folks here are The Scarlet Ending. We love this band, please check them out and pass this video along to your cool friends. More music here too! We were on the set a couple of weeks ago with CJ Wallis of Forty FPS Productions shooting the band's first two official videos. This is the first. Tomorrow the second will be released. Very rad.
