BALTIMORE BASED INDIE POP ROCKERS RELEASE
THOUGHT PROVOKING MUSIC VIDEO FOR ‘FILLED WITH DREAD,’ THE FIRST SINGLE OFF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM ‘MAKE WAVES NOT WAR’

The ocean-minded Baltimore, MD based band Nuke the Soup (www.nukethesoup.com ^[1]) is unveiling the music video for the first single “Filled with Dread” from their debut album, Make Waves Not War, released earlier this summer.  The visually stimulating video was shot in Los Angeles, CA by producer/director George Rausch of Modified Ideas ^[2], who recently completed work for Perezcious Music, the new record label behind famed celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

Taking cues from the song lyrics of wanting to “live in the past,” the creative music video for “Filled with Dread” piques the emotions of a distraught man (actor Jacob “Kujo” Lyons) who is walking the streets of L.A. while everything else is moving backwards.  Rausch creatively incorporates the use of an iPod Touch to serve as a disembodied voice of the protagonist. Check out the video now live on YouTube:

“Filled with Dread” was one of the most added radio tracks on FMQB’s Triple A chart its first week out. The feel good, summery ska-fired song offers a true emotional-spiritual pep talk– it’s also a perfect intro to the eclectic mix of clever pop/rock tunes on the band’s debut album on Meteor Records, whose title Make Waves Not War offers up the perfect surfing inspired solution for our crazy times. The album features a host of top flight East Coast musicians (keyboardist Brian Simms, bassist Mike Mennell, guitarist Rennie Grant) as well as drum legend Chester Thompson, who has played with Weather Report, Frank Zappa and on and off with Genesis for more than 30 years.

In other news, the band’s front man Mark Davison stopped by the KDNK Community Radio studios in Carbondale, CO on September 2 for a live performance of Nuke’s current single, “Filled with Dread” plus their brand new track “Ocean” which hits airwaves this week.

Davison will make a splash in Annapolis, MD on September 27 with a special solo performance at the East of Maui Board Shop, playing music from Make Waves Not War during the store’s Fall Windsurfing Equipment Swap Meet. The band has also teamed up with the non-profit organization to the Surfrider Foundation, and will donate a portion of the proceeds from CD and t-shirt sales from the performance.
