On Tuesday, March 10, The New Regime will premiere the first in a series of six live videos on imeem. Subsequently, imeem will exclusively debut a new video every Tuesday and Friday for three weeks on the artist's
imeem profile. As the largest social music service in the world, boasting more than 25 million visitors per month, imeem is the perfect platform to host the premieres.
The videos represent tracks from the debut album, Coup. Each video was intentionally filmed in a live, non show setting at Swinghouse Studios in Los Angeles. According to front man, Ilan Rubin, "Rather than miming to a meaningless video treatment, I chose to utilize the video to highlight what a band should do best: play live."
The New Regime video premieres on imeem are scheduled follows:
March 10: "Order Restored"
March 13: "Take Control"
March 17: "The Collapse"
March 20: "Tap Dancing In a Minefield"
March 24: "This War Time"
March 27: "Haunt My Mind"
Touted as a "true solo project," The New Regime consists solely of 20 year-old Ilan Rubin, drummer of Nine Inch Nails and previously Lostprophets. No mere time-keeper, adept multi- instrumentalist, Rubin, wrote and recorded every note of bass, drums, guitar, piano, and vocals on The New Regime's 2008 debut, Coup. Playing in bands since the age of 9, Ilan has made his way into the Guinness Book of World Records for opening Woodstock '99 with his first band at age 11.
After recording 10 eclectic tracks in his garage, The New Regime's debut album Coup was released in November 2008.
