Canadian rock band Nickelback have streamed the video for their latest single "This Afternoon," the band's legendary house party, off their album "Dark Horse." Ever party until 6 in the morning with all your friends? Wake up in a room full of empty beer bottles only to bring them back so you can buy some more? Ever have the cops come by to break up your shindig, and join in the fun instead?! The ultimate party - that's what Nickelback pays homage to in the new video for "This Afternoon," which makes it's iTunes debut on Tuesday with 48 hours free download, and just in time for the Summer."This Afternoon," a summer party anthem song, the lead vocals Chad Kroeger sings about a carefree life, boozing and lighting up with friends. The track is the eighth single from band's 2008 'Mutt' Lange-produced and critically acclaimed sixth studio album "Dark Horse." The song is an upbeat country rock song reminiscent of "Rockstar". The bass guitar Mike Kroeger commented on the influence of country music on this tune: "It's a big-time part of our background, that whole laid-back, barroom kind of feel. Where we grew up everybody listened to Country."
A Music video for the song has been confirmed and according to Roadrunner, "Get ready to see the band like you have never seen them before." During the build up to the video, Roadrunner Records have been running daily screenshots of the video as teasers. The pictures have included many young women at what seems to be a party. It suggests an extremely feel good atmospheric video which features the band playing on a propped up stage above the festivities. To say the video will bring a happy laid back feel is an understatement, reflecting perfectly what the song is all about, living the life of a normal, working class person, having the best times with friends, however having little or no money and struggling to pay the rent on accommodation. The video certainly looks like encapsulating that whole feel good nature that the song does so well. "We never take anything for granted," says Chad Kroeger. But this is one band that certainly could.
