Turns out the greatest rock band of my young generation called on me to give their thunderously ripping fight song, ‘Nothin’s Gonna Stop Us’ something fun to look at while it blazes by. Unfortunately, they weren’t available to appear in the video, as they were on tour in the UK and originally hoped to debut the song/video Christmas day. So between the song's maxed out level of sheer awesomeness mixed with it being the band's first release since 2006, there was no question this video really had to be the real deal.
Through big dreamz and a bit of me wise magic, I believe the deal of real was reached. Hugely in part by the greatest crew ever imagined as well as The Darkness for giving me the keys to their muscle-car of rock and an open road to melt rubber.
