THE SHOWDOWN Shoots Video For 'Temptation Come My Way'

On May 21, Tennessee's own THE SHOWDOWN began filming their first music video with accomplished music video director Doug Spangenberg. The clip for "Temptation Come My Way" will give a television audience their first official look at the South's high-voltage rockers.

For their first video, THE SHOWDOWN brought in Spangenberg, who has directed videos for NORMA JEAN, THIS IS HELL, and TERROR, as well as LAMB OF GOD's 2005 gold-selling DVD "Killadelphia". Filmed on the same grounds used by MTV's "Jackass" crew, the video will reflect the band's '80s style and will feature some serious explosions!!

Frontman David Bunton says, "This music video captures the true spirit and feel of THE SHOWDOWN. No-holds-barred heavy metal, pyro and headbanging. That's what we're all about. The goal for our first video was to give people a small taste of how rude we can be live. Heavy metal is plugged in and loud. Heavy metal is the law."

"I was amped on the song as soon as I heard it," says Spangenberg. "We kept it simple and shot the band shredding their faces off in a field with a shitload of pyro. In retrospect, I'm surprised they made it out with only light singe marks. They're great dudes, and I look forward to barbequing with them this summer on Ozzfest."

Since the release of its second full-length, "Temptation Come My Way", THE SHOWDOWN has been living up to the high expectations placed on them by their peers and the media. THE SHOWDOWN was named one of AP's "100 Bands You Need To Know" In '07, and were profiled as a "Band To Watch" in Revolver magazine.
