The Violent Hour Unleashes New Music Video,

DECEMBER STEEL PANTHER SUPPORT DATES ANNOUNCED
“The final cut of the video is exactly how I dreamed it—gritty, sexy, and a little unhinged… just like the song.” — Carla Harvey“
​
​​​​​​"'Sex & Cigarettes" was the third video from the band's debut EP, following videos for the tracks Sick Ones"
and "Hell Or Hollywood."
"I wanted to capture the energy and instant camaraderie we have as a band in a modern, Russ Meyer-esque
fever dream that turns a simple road trip to a gig into absolute madness,” Harvey added. “I enlisted director
Nathan Mowery to bring the vision to life. He’s not only a filmmaker, but also a wrestler, so I knew he’d nail
the finale I imagined.

The final cut is exactly how I dreamed it—gritty, sexy, and a little unhinged… just like the song.”
"Sex & Cigarettes" is the third video from the band's debut EP, following videos for the tracks "Sick Ones"
and "Hell Or Hollywood." Check out the "Sex & Cigarettes” music video HERE.
"We hadn’t been a band for very long before filming the video," said rhythm guitarist Allie Kaye, "
but spending a full day together to shoot these killer scenes brought us closer together as a group."
“The energy on the set of our first music video was truly unforgettable,” said lead guitarist Kiana De León.
"Every moment filming felt less like work and more like hanging out with your friends, everyone just naturally
vibed with each other. The chemistry was instant, and we all clicked as a whole. It was all good vibes, start to
finish, and you can truly feel that excitement in every single scene." “If you’re not having fun with your band
mates,” added drummer Sasha DeLeon, then what are you doing?”
​
“I never had so much fun filming a music video,” said bassist Jewel Steele. “My favorite part was Carla driving
the 63’ Ford Falcon Futura all around LA while we were rocking out and having a blast!”
