Murder FM’s first-ever show was opening for The Used, their second was at the legendary Whisky a Go Go on the infamous Sunset Strip in West Hollywood and, by their third gig, they were on tour with Korn. Now, they’ve since toured with Lacuna Coil, played with Black Veil Brides, and are preparing for another tour including a show with Escape the Fate.
In anticipation, the band is premiering the video for their new single, “We the Evil,” right here right now. Michael Carter shot the live portion of the clip in Dallas at The Sound Foundation, a rock school for kids that Murder FM frontman Norman Matthew recently opened. Benny Ontiveros (Paloma Films) shot the location footage in El Paso, Texas. Ontiveros previously directed Murder FM’s two Top-10 European videos, “As Beautiful As You Are” and “Machine Gun Kisses” (as seen in Rock Band 3).
