Artist: La Resistance
Video: 'Shells'
Highlight: "As far as the video goes, Hunter Barrow, the director, came up with this slightly abstract idea," singer Greg Summerlin tells Spinner. "He wanted to give the video kind of an industrial feel along with a performance by the band. The general concept is the glass factory spitting out layers of glass that are all exactly the same, which is a bit of a statement about the music business to a certain degree. The last shot was supposed to be a worker at the factory taking this sheet of glass that has an imprint of the band on it and putting it into a shelf where there are dozens of other sheets of glass that are exactly the same, but the shot didn't work out and we had to cut it. The song itself is more about building 'Shells' around us as we get older to protect ourselves from the pain of life, but as we do so we become less like the person we want to be. The thought behind the song is also a bit abstract."
