Fans still awaiting a new album (coming soon) can get their Balkan Beat Box fill with the new video for "Political Fuck." Their 2010 album, Blue Eyed Black Boy, was recorded in Belgrade during the violent street riots of a political uprising and this influence can be seen in the video for their latest song. The band was deep in the woods in a 1950’s film music studio, far away from the violence, but they were still influenced by this intense energy and let it take shape in a good and positive way. Check out the video for "Political Fuck" below:



Tickets for Balkan Beat Box's March 10th show are available now at the Metro box office or online.

Today, Nada Surf premiered a new video for "When I Was Young," the second single from the new album, The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy. Check out the video below and tune in to Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tonight to catch the band perform live!
