The Budos Band, 'Origin of Man' - Video Premiere

Staten Island's funk-soul brothers the Budos Band set out into the faux-deserts of Shaolin -- decked in cloaks, no less -- to bring 'Origin of Man' to life. Matt Rogers and Luke Stiles set the Afro-Latin jam to the series of deadly assassinations, replete with a reappearing scorpion -- the symbol for their latest album, 'The Budos Band II.' "We narrowly avoided lock-up when the cops showed up on Staten Island's beach," Baritone Saxophonist Jared Tankel tells Spinner. "We faced an interrogation as to why we were dressed in cloaks, chasing each other around with knives and a pet scorpion." Enjoy the video in all its lo-fi glory, exclusively on Spinner.

Tift Merritt, 'Broken' - Video Premiere

Alt-country chanteuse Tift Merritt is readying the release of her third album, 'Another Country,' with a video for 'Broken.' Directed by Martyn Atkins (Depeche Mode, Johnny Cash), the clip captures the tune's vibe with a basic-to-basics black and white treatment. "We wanted to make a little documentary, a small French film," Merritt tells Spinner. "This song is about how the smallest things have a way of finding you and setting you off again in the right direction. To capture that feeling, we wanted things to be very natural. And of course, we wanted to feature a cool stolen car."

Nicole Atkins, 'Maybe Tonight' - Video Premiere

In the video for 'Maybe Tonight,' Jersey's cinematic songtress Nicole Atkins brings out more costumed actors than a Broadway show, with circus-like routine replete with stilts and clowns. Atkins worked with director Josh Forbes (Cold War Kids, Damien Jurado) on the treatment. "I suggested that since I live and grew up in Asbury Park, NJ, it would be nice to give a nod to the old carnies," Atkins told Spinner. "[Forbes] ended up getting an entire 30-piece circus. The entire shoot was just off the cuff, one big sixteen hour party."

The Whigs, 'Right Hand on My Heart' - Video Premiere

Athens garage rock trio the Whigs invited some friends over to bring the 'Right Hand on My Heart' -- the debut video from the band's latest effort, 'Mission Control' -- to life. "We've never shot a video so we figured we'd honor the promise everyone makes to their friends when they start a band: 'Yes, if we ever make a video, you can be in it,'" singer Parker Gispert tells Spinner. "We had a barbecue and shot in our backyard." Have an exclusive look.
