THE FAMILY BUSINESS LTD - "Floor Burner" (Lyric Video)
A suited, fedora-wearing guitarist never leaves the illustrated world of "Floor Burner." Black-and-cream animation, checkerboard borders and rhythmically shifting text give The Family Business LTD's lyric video its own small ska universe.
Hellcat Records posted nothing new this week, but that older upload remains the busiest of its videos gathering momentum, reaching roughly 144,000 views. J Bonner supplied the artwork, Jason Link the video art direction and Raul Araujo the animation. The credits behind the music are just as collaborative: Rancid's Tim Armstrong produces and contributes guitar and vocals, alongside Jordan Cardy, known as Rat Boy, and vocalist Antonee First Class.
Two more Family Business uploads, "Detonator" and "Bambi," follow it in daily viewing. Despite their "Full Album Stream" title labels, each upload presents an individual song from the album.
Across the channel, daily viewing is a little below its usual level, while the subscriber count grew by about 1,000 over the week. Nearby music channels had very different weeks: TommyLeeSpartaVEVO drew a much larger volume of views, while BL@CKBOX's subscriber count stayed unchanged.
The Family Business supplies the present momentum, but The Interrupters remain central to Hellcat Records' longer story: "She's Kerosene" and "Take Back The Power" are its most-watched regular uploads.
