New Brunswick, NJ is one of this country's centers of the DIY aesthetic. Bands are loosely lumped together as "punk" more for their approach to making music than for their sound. New Brunswick bands range from hard rock to indie rock to pop to punk to post punk to everything in between and beyond; but the unifying trait is a willingness to play basement shows, to self-produce / self-record / self-release music, and to cobble together their own videos.
New Brunswick's Eagle Daddy fit that description to a "T" as evidenced by their recent video for "Heaven Said No," a track from their Rock n Roll Is Dead and I Wish I Were Too EP released back in January. I guess you'd call it post-punk. It has a sound that harkens back to an earlier time, say late-80s / early-90s. Shawn Fitzgerald's affected, melodramatic vocals only enhance that feeling.
Sarah Rudderow put together the mostly safe for work (male butt warning) video for the band. Have a look.
