Jack’s Mannequin Premiere Video for “Swim”

Nick Chaivarlis — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:50:53 +0000

Jack’s Mannequin’s videos are usually flashy and upbeat. I wouldn’t say that the new video for “Swim” is flashy and upbeat, but I will say that it’s one of the simpler videos we’ve seen from the band. Sometimes simplicity captures just the right message and that seems to prove true with Jack’s Mannequin’s latest video.

All of the people featured throughout the video are actually fans, friends, and family members of the band who are holding up artwork that has been submitted by fans over time. The artwork was sent in as a sign of inspiration and encouragement to represent the song’s positive message.

Jack’s Mannequin U.S. Tour?

If you don’t know who Andrew McMahon is by this point then there might not really be hope for you. If you’re not familiar with the band Something Corporate then you might have missed a very influential part of my adolescence. If you’re still in the dark and you don’t know the band Jack’s Mannequin, then we’ll just pretend that you were under a rock for a few years and call it a loss. McMahon’s solo project, Jack’s Mannequin, is doing international touring a favor but for us here in the states, well, we have to hold out.

Or do we? After The Honda Civic Tour rumored to be canceled due to the economic crisis that we’re currently in, McMahon is planning a U.S. tour soon. I can’t really throw any dates out there just yet but I can tell you that February 6^th is the rumored day in which the dates should be released. So, if you’re still in the dark, you should check in at the Jack’s Mannequin website in a few days. It should be worth your while.
