British Columbia's Gob has posted a video for the track "Underground" from their latest full length Muertos Vivos. This is the second video from the recently released album, with a clip for "We're All Dying" arriving late last year.

The Aquarius/Cobraside released album follows up 2003's Foot In Mouth Disease.

name (February 11, 2008)

am i the only dumb bastard who mistook this for a white power video at first?

and also, aren't these dudes friends with sum41? not to judge by the company one keeps, but along with the justin sane wannabe mohawk and show-in-a-basement cliche, it takes me out of the video (and message) just a little bit.

leftoverbud (February 11, 2008)

normally when people hate on something here, it is really exaggerated.

but you're actually spot on. chevelle and a white power video. what were they thinking with those white outfits?

i don't think the song is terrible because i do like some chevelle but i was pumped when I saw gob and though maybe that since they aren't even sort of big anymore that they might go back to playin fast pop punk.

boy was i wrong.

name (February 11, 2008)

oh, and they sound like chevelle.

mikeinflames (February 11, 2008)

this band was better when they were a hardcore band.

notfeelingcreative (February 11, 2008)

I liked them better when they were on Fearless. I liked Fearless better when gob was on Fearless.

EatTheMeek (February 12, 2008)

Gob had just blown up a car.
Gob: [with Lucille 2] Next thing I know, I'm running for my life. And all I could think was if something were to ever happen to me, how sad I'd be, you know?
Lucille Austero: What you did to me at lunch today... You were ashamed to be with me.
Gob: No. I was ashamed to be seen with you. I like being with you.
Lucille Austero: I'm sorry, but you have no courage.
Gob: How can you say that? Shh. Thought I heard my mom.
[whispers]
Gob: How can you say that?

***

Gob: Steve Holt's not my son.
George Michael Bluth: Steve Holt? What, the moron jock?
Gob: That's my son, you pothead.

***

Lindsey: What's a Forget-Me-Now?
Gob: They're pills that create a sort of temporary forgettingness. So if somebody finds out how you do a trick, you just give 'em one of these, and they forget the whole thing. It's a mainstay of the magician's toolkit, like how clowns always have a rag soaked in ether.
Tobias Fünke: Gob, this is Flunitrazepam. It's a roofie.
Lucille: Those are illegal.
Gob: Shut up, Mom. Don't make me give you another one of these.

***
Steve Holt: I've made a huge mistake.
Gob: I know the feeling. I had you. I'm your father, Steve Holt. I can't hide from it any more.
Steve Holt: I won't forget this... Dad.
Gob: [swallows roofie] I will. I will.

***
Gob: I'm dating this Christian girl right now. She wants me to be honest and reconnect with my son. And I'm trying to get her to renounce God and fuck me, but I just want to prove to her that I'm worth it.

Narrator: In an effort to "hip" up his act, Gob had briefly introduced a puppet.
[Gob is acting as a black puppet named Franklin in front of the family]
Gob: [as Franklin] Can I tell you something, my man?
Gob: [as himself] Sure, Franklin.
Gob: [as Franklin] You are one cool
[bleep]
Gob: . Speaking of mothers, let me give that oatmeal some brown sugar.
[the puppet 'kisses' Lucille]
George Sr.: Get off my wife, you bastard.
[strangles Franklin]
Gob: [as Franklin] What's the matter with you?
Gob: [in the present] Franklin said some things Whitey wasn't ready to hear.
Michael: Gob, weren't you also mercilessly beaten outside of a club in Torrance for that act?
Gob: He also said some things that African-American-y wasn't ready to hear either.

***
Gob: [Gob's wife has served him divorce papers] And now she's stomping on my heart.
Michael Bluth: What's her first name? Quickly.
Gob: [flustered] Crindee.
Michael Bluth: Name's not Crindee, Gob.
Gob: [Reads papers] Ah, Saul Zetzmann. Nope. That's her lawyer. Well, she's GOT a name. And I'm gonna find out what it is. And I'm gonna make a pun on it. And that's what I'll call her. Bad example: if her name's Amy, I'll call her "Blame-y."
Michael Bluth: That's a strong defense.

***
Lucille: Did that Mexican girlfriend of yours kick you out?
Gob: She's not "*that* Mexican," Mom, she's "*my* Mexican." And she's Colombian or something.
