Back in 2011 I attended my first Slam Dunk festival at Hatfield, Hertfordshire University. The main reasons I went were Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake and The King Blues, so after buying my ticket I decided to give the line up a once through and see if there were any other artists I'd be interested in seeing, one of them happened to be a heavy metal rapper by the name of Hyro Da Hero, after listening to some of his stuff I was very impressed and made sure I saw him there. The day was a drunken blur but I'd remember what fun Hyro's set had been, later that year/early 2012 I saw him again at Borderline in London. The reason I'm mentioning this is because the new video for 'Beam Me Up Scotty' has just recently been released, it's created using footage from Hyro's live show's and shows the infectious energy and sheer ferocity of one of his gigs. This guy does not stay still when on stage, as this video shows. The track itself is great, it tells the story of an alien landing on earth and describing what they see, and they're not impressed with how people are, it works as a social commentary of people's behaviour. Wonderfully energetic video footage, great writing and from an artist who's very dedicated to what they're doing and clearly having fun while doing it.
