East Coast alternative rock band The Almost have released the brand new music video for Hands. A couple months ago we happened to speak withDusty, Jay and Alex about the video, which was shot on the same ever-lasting day as the video for Lonely Wheel.

Translating old school skate and punk skatepunk Duane Peters is a blast. Say for instance when Duane writes "song-WASTELAnd-Tittle Trak Forupcomig DP Solo record". I think that means 'check out Wasteland, the title track off my upcoming solo album.'
When DP writes "Fuck it did circles forever found unreal location. Gonna go get camera wanna shoot bid for new wasteland song for my solo gottacalassistent" I think it means 'I'm shooting and editing this video myself, found a sick location, where the fuck is my camera and assistant.'
When Duane writes "Time 2 skate and make an appointment for a labotomy! No fucking wonder I got so fucking loaded! Who wants to know any of this shit !", I think it means 'Peters is still hard fucking core.'

It's kind of like eight different songs strung together into one, and the general theme is about surfing in the Arctic Circle by Russia."
