You can watch a behind-the-scenes video from The Riot Before‘s shoot for the song Backstage Rooms. The video was shot a couple of weeks ago and should be released some time this summer. Watch it here. Bassist Corry Manning had this to say about the shoot,

“We shot the video all day at Brett’s house.  We started at about noon and went until 4 in the morning We were using smoke machines in the house and the ADT went off and about 4 fire trucks showed up. We had to explain to the firemen “its cool, we are shooting a video”..  It was one of the longest, most stressful days of my life.  The worst part is, that we still have one more shot to get, but I did get to play dice, so that was cool but I lost a lot of money…not so cool. The concept of the video is the concept of the song.  Once you do something enough times it starts to become routine and isn’t as cool anymore.  So, the video starts out as the biggest and best raging party you have been to and ends up as the lamest worst party ever… bummer.”

The band also released the tour dates for their 2-month summer tour with Blacklist Royals, Off With Their Heads, Nothington, and Heartsounds. Check the full dates here.
