Grant Trimboli Electronica duo Crystal Castles have unleashed their visuals for the song “Affection.”
“Affection” takes us into a strange world of masks, distorted digital footage, and the uncertain world the two are living in currently. You can make your own judgements of the video and what it is trying to convey.
This song comes off of Crystal Castles’ latest release, III, which hit stores and everywhere last November through Polydor Ltd. Purchase your copy over on iTunes now.

January 21st, 2013 Dayton O'Connor It feels like just yesterday those two little scamps Alice Glass and Ethan Kath got together and put out a third album of menacing bleeps and bloops as Crystal Castles.
But the duo just put out the fourth music video for their 2012 album (III). *Teary-eyed sniffling* Oh, they grow up so fast.
The video for “Sad Eyes” is replete with everything we’ve come to expect from Crystal Castles; gothic imagery, sexual nightmarishness, and a whole lotta Glass traipsing around with wilted flowers. It’s a real pick me up.
Watch the video for “Sad Eyes” after the …

November 29th, 2012 Anthony Galasso Shiny Toy Guns have premiered their new music video for “Somewhere To Hide” off their latest release, III, on MTV Buzzworthy today.
The video is dark and very futuristic, matching the tone of the music in “Somewhere To Hide”. Shiny Toy Guns’ new vocalist, Carah Faye Charnow, is seen running towards a mysterious man in a black cloak before co-mingling with him and drinking some sort of elixer, causing them both to pass out.
III is the band’s first release since 2008′s Season of Poison. Read our review of the album right here on Under The Gun and …
October 24th, 2012 Grace Duffy Artist: Shiny Toy Guns
Album: III
Genre: Synth-pop, electro-pop
Label: Five Seven Music
After some awkward backlashes to their previous record Season of Poison, Shiny Toy Gun’s III – their third album, fittingly enough – is a more positive encouraging step for the band. It’s not a perfect album, or even all that exceptional, but it has a searing and consistent atmosphere that gives it presence and intrigue. It’s not exactly what one would describe as charming – the electro-pop and synth nature of Shiny Toy Guns’ music is perhaps more properly described as alluring. But this sense …

October 23rd, 2012 Anthony Galasso Shiny Toy Guns are streaming their entire new album, III, on PureVolume.com.
According to PureVolume.com, “these 11 tracks are loaded with shiny synth-pop, reverb-laden melodies, fuzzy guitars and twinkling percussion, but don’t expect an album heavy on dance tunes, as these songs are a bit more delicate.”
The album features the Shiny Toy Guns’ original vocalist, Carah Faye Charnow, and builds upon the band’s original sound.
Head here to stream the album, or purchase the album on iTunes. For a chance to win a signed copy of III, follow the directions below.

October 31st, 2011 Grant Trimboli Artist: Family Force 5
Album: III
Genre: Rock/Crunk/Punk/Pop
Label: Tooth and Nail/III Entertainment
Earlier this year, I reviewed a three-song EP that acted as a preview for this full length release. Unsurprisingly enough, the complete album III bears little divergence from its sample – it’s still catchy as hell, filled with dancehall beats, slick and groovy. It’s sure to at least win some appreciative nods if not a full on toe-tapping refrain, and will serve anyone in search of some decent rhythm well.
