Florida’s The Distinguished Order of Disobedience (The D.O.O.D.) have released their video for their single, “Subterfuge.”
On the song and video, the band says,
“This song is about how the government and media will lie to suit their purposes and draw attention from matters that are of actual importance. For the video we band wanted to find a way to embody the idea in a story so we came up with the idea that we as a band were starting to get too vocal about the corruption inherent in the system and in order to keep his reputation a Governor running for president decides to take a hit out on the D.O.O.D. in order to help silence the dissension growing against him.”
They continue,
“At that point we thought well we have a beginning and an end, we need something for the middle- so since subterfuge as a word is very much associated with spying, we made a spy template character to be the people doing the secretive things that would lead up to the hit. As is true to form with the way we usually do videos, we like to have them a bit lighthearted or campy while still getting the point across, so even though all of the spy guys are different, there is no way to really tell them apart with any accuracy and to further that- there is no way someone in a fedora, ski mask, black gloves, and a trench coat is going to go unnoticed in this day and age. It all culminates in the very final scene, and I feel that sums up one of the lines in the song pretty well- You haven’t heard the last of us.”
