Cops And Robbers: Safe And Innocent Exercise For Your Child’s Imagination, Or Violent Bloodbath Of The Mind? - Is Tropical: 'The Greeks’ Music Video

I am often warmed by the knowledge that, no matter how malevolently off-kilter my own imagination might appear, there are always others out there willing to push it just that little bit further.

Cops and Robbers, also know as Shoot Everybody Dead with Guns, may seem like a perfectly innocent, childhood game on the surface, but lets take a gander beneath the thin veneer of reality. Try and imagine what’s going through your adorable munchkin’s head as he playfully ‘rat-ta-tat-tats’ his bestest chum with a pair of dual-wielded, finger Uzis.

Struggling? Here, let me and Is Tropical give you a hand (With a little help from the guys at El Nino)…

aKing's New Video Single: 'So Close'

aKing is one of the few bands doing something original in a scene that is full to bursting with SAFA-pop. I think it's great that we've developed our own, local, rock sound but, like anything pure and good in this world, there are those who would, and have, used it's powers for evil. It is in the dark that the light shines brightest, however (look at me, all poetic and not even drunk yet) and aKing, having done a metric shit-ton to build this aforementioned sound over the last few years, have continued to improve it. Jumping riffs, catchy melodies, unique vocals and, praises be-on-high, intelligent lyrics have put them smack-bang in the top five of this SAFA muso's list of Rad Okes To Get Pissed Jamming To.

Take a gander at their new music video for 'So Close'. 

Big props to Adriaan Louw for a superb job shooting and directing. Looks great.

While you're at it, check out the video for Catch Alight, and watch the boys bet the shit out of each other for four and a half minutes. Spectacular.
