Marianas Trench get even more cinematic in their new 'Desperate Measures' video.
We've been obsessed with Marianas Trench and their unabashed flair for dramatics, multipart harmonies and power chords -- as well as their Canadian-ness and LOLs -- even before they were our January 2012 PUSH artist (HAIR FLIP!). They released their third studio album, Ever After, in late 2011, featuring the outrageously anthemic single (seriously, when we become super wealthy and rich from blogging, we're going to travel everywhere by helicopter and demand that that song play every time we land), "Fallout." And while that video led us into some terribly troubled relationship territory, their new "Desperate Measures" video reveals that while Marianas Trench can't learn from their mistakes, at least they have a sense of humor about it.
Watch Marianas Trench's "Desperate Measures" video after the jump.
In their new "Desperate Measures" video, the power-pop foursome fall victim to a crazed (yet hot) chick who happens to have magical powers (as hot chicks so often do). Said chick creates voodoo dolls and ultimate control of the boys, forcing them into key pop culture moments including the underwear scene from Tom Cruise's "Risky Business," a scene from the movie "Toy Story" that includes language we do not remember from the film and an amalgam of every '90s boy band. While we're not quite sure what "Risky Business" has to do with voodoo, we're pleased to note that Josh Ramsay rises to the occasion and GOES IN where not wearing pants is concerned, and we're positive there's a larger lesson hidden somewhere and it's probably that grown-ups really shouldn't be playing with dolls.
