Spokane-based emo trio Boat Race Weekend recently released their new EP Throw Your Head to the World! on 10/14. Today, they have debuted a new music video for the record's first single "Broken Teeth" (originally premiering with PureVolume.com). “Promise me, darling, that you won’t be afraid to smile despite a mouthful of broken teeth” vocalist Evan Kruschke sings on the encouraging track that reminds you to be positive when life gets you down. The video was directed and produced by Dawson Scholz of The Ongoing Concept who also produced the new EP.

"I've always loved seeing classical forms of dancing in music videos," says drummer Jay Orth. "A few years back, I saw a video for Godwolf's "Alone" and I thought it was just the coolest video. Later, Gaslight Anthem came out with a great video with dancing all throughout it. I saw how more traditional dancing was being incorporated into genres like EDM and rock and always wanted to do a video where we included it. I just thought of it as a really cool art project- dancing, music, and video."

Additionally, bassist Collin Price said he always wanted to wear a tutu in a music video and thought this was a "good compromise."

"I was concerned that if we had Collin in a tu-tu, it would give our female viewers heart problems," says Kruschke.

About Boat Race Weekend:

Boat Race Weekend is an indie/alternative band based in Spokane , WA, comprised of three childhood best friends. Drummer Jay Orth, guitarist/singer Evan Kruschke, and bassist Collin Price attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA where they were asked to perform at a University event on short notice. They had to form a band and learn 9 cover songs in one week. When told that they had to have a band name, they jokingly came up with Boat Race Weekend after their favorite, legendary hometown event, the hydroplane races. The band then went on to perform at more Gonzaga events and house shows. Eventually, the trio began writing original music and performing around Spokane and throughout the Pacific Northwest. The band released their debut album, The Talisman in March 2015 which was featured on Indie Rock Cafe's "Best DIY music of 2015". The band's live energetic performances earned them a place on Music Connection's "Hot Live and Unsigned Bands of 2015". Boat Race Weekend has constantly been playing shows throughout Washington, Idaho, and Oregon and has performed with bands such as The Story So Far, Comeback Kid, and Listener. The new EP “Throw Your Head to the World!” was recorded in rural Rathdrum, ID and was produced by The Ongoing Concept's Dawson Scholz.
