Ex-Deadly Snake: Andre Ethier "Don't Let This Mean Old World Swallow You"


Andre Ethier "Don't Let This Mean Old World Swallow You"

dir. by Adam & Dave

We were big fans of The Deadly Snakes and their snarly Canadian rock, so Andre Ethier's first solo album had a lot to live up to. This track doesn't quite deliver on that promise, and the video isn't much to write home about either. That being said, the opening shot is magnificent - reminiscent of Polanski's The Tragedy of Macbeth - and there is something weirdly hilarious about all the secret society and Obi-Wan Kenobi posing. Seems like the only way to stop "this mean old world" from getting you down is creating your personal niche - or getting possessed by demons.

As long as Ethier holds onto that voice, he'll keep our interest.
