We sat down with Philly band Creepoid on a sunny Saturday in Bushwick to chat about their passion for animal rescue, how to buck the norm and basically only answer to yourself. Watch the video to see how these four rebels live life perpetually on the road and still manage to promote their cause of animal rescue.

Ben Talmi – “I know it’s True” (Music Video)

This hand crafted, stop-motion music video based on the art of Mark Warren Jacques was animated primarily using thousands of pieces of paper, paint and pen.

“The narrative of the video is based on the Greek myth of Sisyphus where he was punished for his self-aggrandizing craftiness and deceitfulness by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down; repeating this action for eternity.”
