THROWBACK. Over the years, the band has had opportunities to make music videos. The pure ambition we had for this crazy heavily-Shameless inspired storyline with live band and belly dance scenes. Take a trip back in time to The Spot. This song was written in 2016, which really does live up to all the hype.
