[Watch] The Darkness - "Every Inch of You"

The Darkness are set to return with their first album in seven years soon. It's called Hot Cakes and will be released on the 21st of August via Wind-Up Records. In February we got our first taste of the album in the form of a cool looking video for "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us" and today they've offered a lyrics video for a track called "Every Inch of You". Check it out at the top.

[Watch] The Black Keys - "Gold on the Ceiling" (Official Video)

We already had a video for The Black Keys' El Camino featuring track "Gold on the Ceiling" way back in February. (Where is this year going? Seriously it's June!) Anyway, today they've offered up an extremely creepy video that's not made up of live footage from the road for the track. Instead the video directed by Harmony Korine features Dan and Patrick and some supersized versions of themselves. I don't have words to describe this, it's just odd.

The Black Keys are touring relentlessly in 2012, dates of which can be seen over here.

[Watch] Scissor Sisters - "Baby Come Home" (Official Video)

After delivering fantastic videos with "Shady Love" and "Only The Horses," Scissor Sisters are continuing the streak with their new visuals for "Baby Come Home." It helps that the song is one of the standouts from their recently released fourth studio LP Magic Hour, but the video is equally as awesome. Similar to Justice's epic animated video for "D.A.N.C.E." from a few years ago, Scissor Sisters give us a continually moving tapestry of colourful imagery and animation. It's definitely worth the watch, so check it out above.

Magic Hour is out now via Polydor, and head here to watch the Josh Homme infomercial promoting the album.

[Watch] Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros - "Man On Fire" (Official Video)

In their new video for "Man On Fire," Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros took to the dance mecca of New York City earlier this month to show the world how important dancing is, no matter who expresses it and how. Whether it's contemporary, breakdancing, or even double dutch, dancing is incredibly important, it keeps the world moving and brings us together. See for yourself in the video above.

Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros' sophomore LP Here is out now via Vagrant Records/Rough Trade.

[Watch] Purity Ring - "Belispeak" (Official Video)

On July 24th, breakout Edmonton duo Purity Ring will be releasing their debut LP Shrines through 4AD and Last Gang, and today they've unveiled the first official video from the forthcoming release. In the visuals for "Belispeak," directed by Brewer, we see vocalist Megan James in a dark, misty setting fitting with the gothic tones of the song. Check it out above.
