Megosh, “Checkerboards & Cigarettes” [New Music Video]

Post Author: Michael Brummett

Closing out 2016, Baltimore’s Megosh has a new music video, full of personality.

New Album

Just one week ago, Megosh released the 14-track, creative monster, Apostasy. In case you missed it, we interviewed the band and reviewed their album, with “Checkerboards & Cigarettes” landing as one of our favorites from the new record.

After—or perhaps in the middle of—checking out their above video, if you’d like to grab Apostasy as a sweet, last minute gift, you can find it on nearly every platform here.

Thoughts on Music Video

Quickly, the charming chemistry within the outfit turns into to a swell of intensity. Scavenging through their burnt out mystery tour, we have to concede they found quite the abandon building. Megosh must be making it big, with that Coca-Cola product placement, huh?

Verdict

We originally gave our thoughts on “Checkerboards & Cigarettes” in our full-album review:

“As an indication of quality, there likely wasn’t a better way to edge out this beast of a creation. “Checkerboards & Cigarettes” lands as one of our album favorites, chanelling vocals that remind us of Fall Out Boy at times, covered in bleeding-edge guitar work. Lyrically interesting, casual chats about human nature transcend the normal noise found in any song as of late.”

Honestly, this was a very well produced music video, that only endears the group closer to us. Christmas just got better with this revisit of Apostasy, even just a week past its original release. We love these guys.
