This is a straight up performace video. Dark and gritty it was shot in a warehouse in Camden, London. It was a cold winter morning, there was no heating and we got drenched by a guy with a hose between takes. Thanks Jeff!

This video was made in Almeria, Southern Spain. It's basically a car chase across the desert with two bandits trying to run us off the road, total Wacky Racers stuff. Intercut with us performing in a dirty biker bar it's a full throttle sweatfest!

We flew to Romania to shoot this tribute to Romeo and Juliet. The performance was shot in a church in Bucharest. The local priest was pretty cool but he got annoying telling us to turn the music down and blowing out the candles because wax was dripping on his floors! The story is a bit Ghost Whisperer! Oops, hope I didn't ruin the end?

This is the second video made for the, 'Renegade Cavalcade' single as the band hated the outcome of the first attempt. Shot when on tour in Austria it was quickly recorded in a room at the venue on Halloween afternoon on a shoe string budget. Features Tim's Flaming Flying V that saw a lot of action during the Meltdown tour.

This sucked so bad we didn't want it to be shown on TV! We then had to make the second version during the tour with next to no money...

Ash live performace taken from the original UK video and intercut with video game footage from LucasArt's Star Wars: Republic Commando. We got asked to provide music for the game during the Meltdown writing period and by complete fluke had just demoed the Clones track! More Ash / Star Wars stories here.

This video is included on the 'Commando' EP released and avaliable by mail order from Record Collection

See James Nesbitt in his birthday suit while prancing around his house to his favorite band, us! This commercial is a re-edit of the ISS TV spot and was screened on the huge video screens between bands on The Darkness Arena Tour (2004).
