ACTORS - How Deep Is The Hole | Live @ JBTV

Actors performing their song “How Deep Is The Hole“ from their album Reanimated live on the JBTV stage. From Vancouver, Canada, ACTORS electrify with a modern take on post-punk. On debut full-length It Will Come to You, anthemic songs evoke the urgency of early-80’s U2 (Boy, October, War) as well as the driving, synth drenched scores that emanated from the era's movie screens. As scene authority puts it, the band conjures “cinematic new-wave... that belongs on a Michael Mann soundtrack.” Frontman Jason Corbett’s rich vocals command with all the passion of a young Bono and the coolness of Peter Murphy. Songs like “L’appel du Vide,” “Slaves,” “Face Meets Glass,” and “Bury Me” are bangers that glisten via Corbett’s production job: slamming beats propel warm layers of synth, guitar, and vocals. Corbett writes, produces, mixes, and masters all ACTORS music at his own Vancouver studio, Jacknife Sound. Corbett names David Bowie as a fundamental influence - Bowie’s sense of confidence and creativity are in full effect on It Will Come to You. But much more than a “retro” act, this is music that stands all on its own, full of life and unforgettable hooks. Perhaps best described as a “post-post-punk” band, ACTORS belongs in the discussion alongside bands of today like The Soft Moon and Cold Cave who are pushing music forward via a deep knowledge of the past. ACTORS has toured in the USA, Canada, and Europe, and performed at Terminus Festival 2017, 2018 (Calgary), Out From the Shadows Festival 2018 (Portland), and Wave-Gotik-Treffen 2018 (Leipzig), with upcoming festival appearances at Infest 2018 (Manchester), A Murder of Crows 2018 (Brooklyn), and Cold Waves 2018 (NYC, Chicago and Los Angeles). Lyrics: Silent gain on your guard Playing to the weakest card Crimson night bleeds,like a fake Stain your clothes, hide your hate How deep is the hole, hole, hole How deep is the hole, hole, hole You got a lot to learn about manners You got a lot to learn about soul How deep is the hole Place your trust under the blade Close your eyes, let it fade The salty sweet plastic pill Swallowed whole, love can kill You got a lot to learn about manners You got a lot to learn about soul How deep is the hole How deep is the hole How deep is the hole, hole, hole How deep is the hole, hole, hole To find more content treats like this join JBTV social channels at: Website: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: Tumblr:
