The Accused: Hemline – new video

Featuring only one original member now, a co-founder and guitarist Tommy Niemeyer, Seattle's THE ACCUSED have just recently released new video (“first official video in how many years?...we even lost track!”) for ‘Hemline’, track taken off their 2009's album ‘The Curse Of Martha Splatterhead’ (Southern Lord Records). The video was inspired by the classic 80's horror films and it is band's first attempt to bring Martha Splatterhead to real life.

For those unfamiliar with Martha, she is a wild haired, big-fanged, undead female zombie vigilante, comic-book inspired heroine who's image was created and drawn by Niemeyer - and who appears on almost all of THE ACCUSED album covers and merchandise. She’s a powerful female figure on a mission to eliminate sexual predators from the world, most often by utilizing a slightly grizzly and vicious method; a kind of wholesale scumbag removal service. It’s a street cleaning routine some of the more squeamish folks would probably not enjoy witnessing. Throughout their career a host of fictional characters have been created by THE ACCUSED; their trademark and crowd favorite is, of course, Martha Splatterhead.

THE ACCUSED features: Tommy Niemeyer – guitar, B.R.A.D. Mowen – vocals, Pete (Lesbian) – bass and Mike Petersen – drums.
