Sunday Video Love: Anklebiters

Paramore released a new music video for their song, "Anklebiters," a few days ago, so you know I had to share it with y'all. It reminds me of pop-punk songs from the '90s — like a mix of Rancid, Letters to Cleo, and early No Doubt — somehow fierce, upbeat, and catchy, all at the same time. Love the message and sentiment behind the song, too; like a reminder to be the best person you can be. Their entire self-titled album has proven that they can push their boundaries as rock musicians with influences from all sorts of genres — everything from soul and gospel to ska and new wave to swing and funk. A lot of bands will maintain the same sound throughout their active years, and while a lot of people have complained that this doesn't sound like "the old Paramore," that's exactly what I like about it.
