The debut single and video from BLAMMOS new album, Sometimes I Wish You Were Dead.

“The original Beatles’ version of “You Won’t See Me” appeared on their legendary 1965 album Rubber Soul, which marked the beginning of their transition from pop boy-band to the art-rock visionaries they would become in their later career. BLAMMOS’ cover maintains the gorgeous pop melodies of the Beatles’ original and adds a touch more punk distortion on the guitar to give it more of a modern edge. With the added dynamic of contrasting masculine and feminine vocals, the song adds a dimension that The Beatles’ version never had. The video is bathed in bright neon colors and video effects, making it a pop-art spectacle worthy of the 1960s themselves.”
