Canadian pop-punkers Marianas Trench debuted the explosive video via MTV for their second single "Fallout," which is also the first since the release of their third studio album "Ever After" in last November. The foursome's latest video, "Fallout," explores the treacherous minefield that is a crumbling relationship.Written by lead singer Josh Ramsay himself and then finessed into an accompanying booklet, "Ever After" are going to tell fans one long, continuous story of a man who finds himself trapped in a fairytale feud with an evil heart-stealing queen in a continuous flow of music that has every song cycling into the next without a break. It's an actual physical experience; a warm throwback to the album era when your music was more than a bunch of orphaned songs sitting on an endless iPod playlist.
"All the songs live on their own as songs, but they also serve the purpose of telling the story throughout the record," Ramsay explains. Much like the album, the band plans to make all the videos line up to make sense continuously, Ramsay said in an interview for MTV's Push. "This one's a little more abstract. It's not quite as literally right out of the story as the first one is, but there's definitely still elements of it for sure. I think later when people see all the videos from the
record, it's going to be cool and all line up."
The video follows Ramsay as he dodges explosions and memories set off by a recent breakup. He was on-and-off with his girlfriend in their last video "Haven't Had Enough," and "Fallout" picks up where they left off - permanently off. It opens with Ramsay and his girlfriend under a cloudy sky in a vacant field as he begs her to try to make their relationship work - cut to flashback sequences of the better times and the not-so-better times. The Vancouver emo punks plays through the wreckage as they narrate the breakup. At the end of the video, she hands Ramsay a bogus key necklace. Might that be a key element in the band's next video?
