 San Francisco’s smartest new young band, The Hundred Days, have released the second single and video off their debut album, Really?  The video for “Girl At a Party”, directed by David Dutton, is a raucous, fun-filled romp through a gigantic bash with a gorgeous lady as your guide.  Magnetic Magazine exclusively premiered the video alongside a hysterically funny and insightful interview from the band.  You can watch the video and read the interview HERE.
 
The four twenty-something year old musicians found themselves able to discover and perfect their sound in just one hundred days and nights by locking themselves in a house until they hit upon the perfect formula.  The Hundred Days’ debut album Really? was released early this fall and is a collection of critically-acclaimed indie-rock gems that are as cleverly danceable as they are catchy and sonically arresting.
 
Really? is the latest project from the production team of Michael Patterson (Beck, Ladytron, She Wants Revenge) and Nic Jodoin (Great Northern). With driving rhythms, soaring guitars, textural keyboards and powerful vocal melodies, The Hundred Days push indie/alt rock in new directions. Drawing from a variety of influences (post punk, alternative, britpop), the band's familiar, yet intrinsically unique sound has been compared to The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, and Radiohead as well as contemporary rockers Franz Ferdinand, The Bravery and The Killers. A moody, dynamic indie rock band, The Hundred Days showcase tight musicianship complemented by razor-sharp pop writing capabilities with both sophistication and urgency.
 
Their first single from the album, “Sex U” and accompanying video attracted an enormous buzz on the internet, with NME naming it one of the “10 Best Free MP3s”.  Press clamored for it after it premiered on Baeble, followed by a featured Video of the Day on Spinner and Consequence of Sound, among other sites. The band has toured extensively across the U.S. as well as the UK, and has played major festivals and showcases including SXSW, the CMJ Marathon in NYC, Noise Pop Festival and the BFD Festival at Shoreline Amphitheatre alongside Moby, MGMT and Pennywise, among others.
