We’re all about the intersection of music and video. Someone told me there used to be a channel devoted to the same thing but I just don’t buy it.

Or so says the ‘About’ section of the Shots Ring Out website. Recently, Brian (fully 1/3 of the Shot’s family), came through the shop and gave us a heads up on the site. Based out of LA, the team, well, perhaps it’s best in their own words:

Shots Ring Out (SRO) is a music video blog. Music videos are an art form that we would like to celebrate and promote. Obtaining music videos, however, can be tricky. With some exception, you can’t really go ‘buy’ music videos to the same effect as you can with songs. We help people obtain music videos and discover great new artists. By this, we mean great bands and great filmmakers.

Believing music videos to be an art form in and of themselves, we try to showcase those who are pushing the medium. We always let you know the director of every video we showcase. This is not a video ‘dump’. All videos are hand-picked by us based on the fact that we feel it merits attention. This is a place to discover and discuss great, new bands and up-and-coming directors. It’s also a place to check out some classic works.

If you love music videos as much as we do (can you tell?), then you’ll appreciate their Monthly Mix and Video Classics sections. And just for good measure here is a video of Dallas native Erykah Badu’s new single ‘Honey’.
