Fiercely outspoken but often with tongue-firmly-in-cheek, Brandon Phillips of The Architects has lots to say about the U.S. Healthcare system and how manipulative it is. But instead of standing on a soapbox and shouting it from the rafters, he opted to shout it through their new video instead. Culled from their recently released third album Vice on Anodyne Records, the single “Pills” cynically rips into the time-worn practice of placating patients through the numbing effect of pills and other forms of medication. The video will be exclusively streamed for a week on AbsolutePunk.net (http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=459932).
In addition to debuting the video for “Pills”, The Architects will also be joining Authority Zero for a run of dates in August. Dates are:
