WATCH IT: Taking Back Sunday "Sink Into Me"

While Jessie James "Wanted" is about as "pop" a video as we've seen from director Travis Kopach, he's still able to get down and dirty when appropriate. His new Taking Back Sunday clip "Sink Into Me" brings back the viscous black sludge that Kopach first unleashed in a more conceptual manner for his Matchbook Romance "Monsters" video. In this streamlined update, we see a band sinking into the mire for a crowd that's oblivious to the mess being made. --> watch "Sink Into Me"

WATCH IT: Jessie James "Wanted"

Jessie James is a highway; you wanna ride her all night long. Or get a lube job. In a nod to her namesake, the outlaw Jesse James, this much more buxom troublemaker is on the run from what we assume to be the law. She barrels down dusty desert roads, occasionally making stops to assume various guises — say hello to the sultriest gas station attendant and road crew worker you ever did see — all in an effort to elude the suits that are on her trail. It all feels a bit calculated, but there's a decent chance the math will all add up for her. --> watched "Wanted"
