During this pandemic, Ugly Runner is trying to keep a smile on our faces with their new timely video for their track Eat The Neighbors!<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the song, guitarist\/vocalist Stephen Britt said, \u201cEat The Neighbors! was written as a joke after being unable to find many supplies during the onset of the pandemic. I wanted a colorful take on a dystopian, class-war apocalypse once essential supplies had dissipated and chaos had taken over. The track was recorded at my house in Asheville, North Carolina, by Ryan Glisson with help from Lowell Hobbs and Edwin Mericle. We collaborated with Marcd (marcd.co<\/a>) for the animation, and they killed it. I wanted to create something fun that would help people smile during these unprecedented times. People everywhere are struggling with income loss, and a lot of them being renters at the mercy of slumlords with minimal protections in place. If you stack those issues on top of mandatory isolation, mental health across the country will spiral. We all need to keep each other up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
