Watch: Strange Talk Share "Climbing Walls" New Video Version

Australian alt/electro-pop quartet Strange Talk have shared a new video version for "Climbing Walls"

The song is a classic tune here on Kool Rock Radio, it peaked at #30 in our Best Tracks of 2011 chart and and is taken from their self-titled EP released through Neon Gold Records in April 2011 (Wind-up released an updated version of this EP June 4, 2013). 

The band' self-produced debut full length 'Cast Away' was released in October via Wind-up Records.

About the the red convertible used in the clip, frontman Stephen Docker says: "The car may look flashy, but it was so hard to drive, especially with a massive camera mounted on the hood, it's completely blocking my vision whilst driving on winding roads in the hills of Malibu… After two long days of filming, it still baffles me how we didn't get pulled over once by the police. [It was] by far the most challenging video I've had to shoot so far, but a lot of fun."

Take a look at the summery video below, it was directed by Kyle Thrash.

And here's the first version of the video, released in 2011.
