Synopsis

Girl Band perform "Lawman" in a dark, empty room, captured in stark black-and-white through imagery that resembles a low-quality security camera. The four musicians appear in fragmented, heavily distorted shots as the song's repetitive bass pulse and abrasive guitars build in intensity. Static and visual interference increasingly overtake the picture, turning the performance into a disorienting burst of noise and movement that mirrors the track's relentless, confrontational energy.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video premiered on January 21, 2014, through Stereogum.
  • It was made by the production company Second/Frame.
  • The deliberately rough black-and-white look was widely noted for its security-camera quality, heavy static, and lo-fi treatment.
  • "Lawman" was issued as a limited 7-inch single by Any Other City Records, backed with "Heckle the Frames." Only 300 copies were pressed.
  • At more than six minutes, the song was an unusually extended and repetitive single, with the video allowing its groove to develop rather than cutting it into a conventional radio-length structure.
  • The track was also made available as a free download through the band's Bandcamp.
  • Girl Band later changed its name to Gilla Band in 2021.
