Video: CSS: "Rat Is Dead (Rage)"
When it comes to CSS, the live setting is where it's at. Wisely, this staged performance clip for Donkey's previously Forkcasted first offering "Rat Is Dead (Rage)" gives the rambunctious combo and their instruments plenty of room to roam. In lieu of a stoked-to-bits crowd we get frenetic lighting effects and a relentless camera that swoops in and out, assaulting the band from every angle. True to form, the members of CSS never shrink from meeting the aggressive thing eye-to-lens.
