Skate Punks Scooped Up! Flip It In Reverse With Throwback Video For “Reruns”

With an uncanny resemblance to the Scott Raynor days of Blink-182 and golden era Green Day, Scooped Up! channel the sun-kissed Cali-punk scene of the mid-90s – but relocated to the East Coast state of Connecticut almost 30 years later. Now onto their sophomore release, three years after their 2018 debut Dumbass, Scooped Up! have shared the lead single “Reruns”, once again diving into the throwback aesthetic of their sound.

Sitting comfortably in the suburban skate punk universe, “Reruns” was one of the first tracks to be written for the album well over a year ago, and the matching visuals took the band over a year and a half to put together. From wasted studio shots, to fitting performance shots into a kitchen-sized TV, the combination of footage becomes a montage of vintage punk clips.

“We shot the performance shots before we even had a concept for the video”, the band share. “We rented time in a studio, shot for a few hours and got a ton of footage that we never even used. We ended up going with the only take we shot on a tripod because later on we decided to play the footage through the TV”.

“Months go by and its summer of 2020 when we came up with the rest of the music video concept”, they continue. “Jimmy Barbetti directed the video and he came up with the concept while chilling at the local skate park. He figured building a room in the bowl would make for a good set piece for the video. For the rest of the summer Jimmy went all around with the tv filming the footage playing through it. He had to deal with having a tv and a bunch of wires in the back seat of his car for over a year. Jimmy brought the tv all around town and to NYC and wherever he saw a cool scene to place it in. Since it took so long to film we ended up getting all of the changing seasons in the video. which was a nice touch that added more depth to the video”.

Fortunately the result is a fun and nostalgic effort that perfectly captures the generation of Cali-skate punk music. Watch below:
