Music Videos

The video for "Back of Your Neck" was released on YouTube under RoughTradeRecordsUK's account. It clocks at 3:11. The video mainly shows Howler "mucking about" in Minneapolis, filmed by a quite grainy camera. The only other really different scene is of Howler playing the song in a studio, mainly concentrating on Jordan. This footage seems to be made for the actual promo. There is a behind the scenes video on NME.com that was released before the actual video for "Back of Your Neck" It was directed by Robert Semmer and despite the fact that it was the shortened, edited, version of the song, the lyrics "but both of them fucking died" and "smoking as high as a crackpot" are uncensored.
