Unlocking The Truth aka Lords Of Flatbush Metal Get Signed

Remember these guys we first showed you a year ago? Unlocking The Truth aka Malcolm Brickhouse & Jarad Dawkins — two (then) sixth graders from Flatbush, Brooklyn whose metal prowess was showcased in The Avant Garde Diaries, a Mercedes Benz initiative that spotlights the next generation of innovators (metal and otherwise).

Well, the boys signed a big record deal that if all goes to plan, which always happens in the music business, will net them close to two million dollars. 

Metal: for the win.

Okkervil River "Stay Young" (Sean Dunne, dir.)

Warpaint Director Sean Dunne rediscovers a rocker’s glory days, growing up in small town New Hampshire in the new music video “Stay Young” for Austin, TX indie rock band Okkervil River. Steering away from the quaint notion of rural New Hampshire, Dunne and front man Will Sheff wanted to shed light on the rowdier, dustier side of New Hampshire, where he grew up.
