I personally find it rather frustrating when a band member decides to launch a solo career but simply ends up sounding like the original band he/she was originally a part of. It makes me wonder: what’s the point? But of course, that’s the fan talking in me and we all know fans have no regard for musicians lives or feelings and only want our music tastes to be satisfied. Nevertheless, I can say I am satisfied with “Give Blood,” Kyp Malone (of )’s single off his solo debut. This is probably because I am a fan of and, you guessed it, it pretty much sounds like them.

The music video features Kyp in what appears to be a non-seedy hotel room playing his guitar. But then he starts pulling bodies out from under the bed and things get only slightly weird from there with some clay creatures and (gasp!) hand claps. Download “Give Blood” below:

Pretty damn good song. But I completely agree with your point. If you had told me this was a TVotR B-side or Dear Science extra track, I would have completely believed it

i thought this sounded like a tvotr track, too, but i dig it. i don’t really like the other tracks from the album that i’ve heard, though. the video is so random, but still kinda cool. i like him pulling me people from under the bed.
