A Day To Remember's next video to be for "I'm Made Of Wax, Larry"

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 10/27/09 @ 3:33 PM - altpress.com

A Day To Remember guitarist Neil Westfall revealed in a recent interview that the band will be filming a video for "I'm Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?" when they return to Florida in November after their tour of Europe. Westfall also suggested that a video for "Have Faith In Me" will follow.

Westfall explained the choice of "I'm Made Of Wax, Larry" like this: "It's a song that has had one of the best reactions from the CD, and it stands out compared to the other songs on the album. I think we are going to do a video for 'Have Faith In Me,' and maybe one other song before the cycle is over; if we can fit it in. We didn't want to do a poppy song, so we wanted to switch and keep it real. We are A Day To Remember and we want to do what we want to do; we want to put out 'I'm Made Of Wax Larry...' because it's a harder song."

A Day To Remember released the deluxe version of Homesick today. Find out the stories behind every song on the album in our exclusive Track-By-Track feature with frontman Jeremy McKinnon.
