RJA on Music Video Monday

Late one night, while sleeping on the couch at my sister-in-law’s (when she was still living in the Hampton Roads area in Virginia… circa Summer 2006-ish, I think), I was flipping through channels while the rest of the house slept.  I landed on MTV2, or some other channel actually playing music videos late at night, and this band with a funny name was guest hosting.  The band: The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.  The video at the time was their first mainstream single, which touches on domestic violence.  I enjoyed the way the video was put together, and the edge – combination of how they handle the subject matter while still maintaining an up-tempo rock song.  I have since gone on to add most of their other work to  the library.

The Official video is here, but here's an acoustic cut that also works quite well (for those less rock inclined).
