lauren Flax

Lauren made the track appropriately named "Iceland" for the Iceland section on "VAN RIDES." Motivated is a understatement for this girl. She will not stop til she makes it... and she will...
If your in the club scene in NYC you know who she is. If your not, you now do.
Thank you for your support Lauren!!!

DramaRama

I first heard this song in a skate video in junior high. I think it was Jason Lee's part. Song still sounds just as good as the first time I heard it.

Trouble Andrew

Heres a vid I shot of Trevor Andrew a few years back in N.H.. Black Flag cover "Drink". as u can tell by the footage, i had a drink too.


Trouble Andrew.. 9 times out of 10 Trouble is playing in my truck or in my headphones. This guy hits home for me. Trouble Andrew does what Sublime did with the genre blending of reggae, ska-punk, mexi and so on.. Trouble blends it from old punk skate/snow vid inspirations all the way to hip-hop recording tracks with Stunnaman. Genre? Call it crunk rock, or call douche music.. what ever it is.. its NEW and its all his.
Here.. Have a free track from "Trouble Gang Mixtape" out May 1st

Kodiak Projectile

I have been talking with this kid for over 3 years now about using his music via myspace. He has only about 200 myspace friends and is WAY under the radar. There is just something about his music.. If i had a record label, I would sign him in a heartbeat. hmmm GET IN THE VAN record label?
he has no videos online but you can sample his shit@ http://www.myspace.com/kodiakprojectile

ratatat

Sounds from the VAN

Hi
This blog was created from over the past 10 or so years of people asking where i find my music in the videos I produce. Its a place to find new music and a place to give back to the artists. Looking for new music and finding 'old songs' that 'sound good again' is something I enjoy just as much as filming.. AS you probably guessed I do not have the rights to the music I use... Some I do... some I don't. Some are friends bands or people send me music to use.. but for the most part I steal REALLY good music to make my SHIT...Y videos look better, with that being said.. Check out their sites and support the bands!!
GITV,
Joe
