Dane Reynolds and Craig Anderson // Premium Violence - video
Rightio then, after two fiften second teasers Former has dropped their latest clip, called 'Premium Violence' which sounds like upmarket ultra-violence but is likely just the name of the latest range.
Don't go looking for any meaning, and don't go looking for any clothes being modelled either, what you have instead is eight minutes of fresh footage of Dane and Ando shot in Japan, Portugal, and south coast NSW.
No lyrics this time 'round with Dane faves Swans and Mount Eerie, plus two other bands, splashing an aural landscape.
As usual, no embedding, gotta click through but if the Gruen transfer kicks then a Former tee-o is only a mouse click away.

fuck that was good.
Yes, very!
Funny. Out of bored curiosty last night i googled 'former' to see what these fellas where up too. Couldnt find anything. Not even a site. The only thing that kept coming up was different articles about the announcement of the brand name
Forgotten how much of a unit Dane is. Certainly, throws everything at it and explosive. Good stuff.
Holy shit.
As more time passed I thought maybe the whole Former thing may end up a little try hard and cliche, trying to be too cool and artsy, and the surfing maybe a little dated.
I couldn't have been more wrong, that was insane surfing, creatively shot and produced with perfectly dramatic music.
So good.
Does anyone turn as hard and fast as DR?
He's compelling.
Fine soundtrack too.
Safety pins and totes, 'nuff said
Holy crap was half expecting a talented chubster in DR, that surfing was incredible. Airs for him are full on power moves in their own right
DR, super sensitive on land, total beast in the drink. Very cool
