New video from Jim McTurnan And The Kids That Killed The Man

Die-hard ’90s nostalgists have had 11 years to comb through back issues of Spin, dig up episodes of Alternative Nation online, and unearth every last band the alt-rock era has to offer. That doesn’t mean the fun of the post-grunge years is completely tapped out, though. Conveniently overlook the copyright date on Jim McTurnan And The Kids That Killed The Man’s debut, Joie De Vivre, and you can make believe you discovered the band when it opened for Blur that time it played 7 South. Here’s a first look at the first video from that album. The tune, “Give Up Suffering,” builds a bit of Teenage Fanclub or The Stone Roses jangle around a fierce vocal hook and a tale about a trip to the Big Apple. Although the video boasts the sort of no-budget ethos that brands it a product of the YouTube era—it’s shot exclusively in a poorly lit practice space on an unsteady handheld—if you close your eyes, it’ll almost be enough to make you want to go dig your beloved super-baggy sweater out of storage.
