[Exclusive] Watch the Music Video Premiere for Double Experience’s “Godzilla”
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound. He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down.
Ottawa based neo-rock nerds Double Experience released their third album ‘Unsaved Progress’ back in April of last year, and we’re excited to exclusively premiere the brand new video for the track “Godzilla.” A cover of the same-named Blue Oyster Cult song, “Godzilla” is a love letter to the King of the Monsters, and the fun video sees the Big G attacking a city like only he can.
Okay, so it’s actually a dog in a Godzilla costume. And the city is made of cardboard.
Vocalist Ian Nichols explained to us why he wanted to cover the track:
What Blue Oyster Cult accomplished with “Godzilla” is exactly what Double Experience aspire to do as well: combine rock music and nerdy, sci-fi topics together into timeless songs. We believed that including this song on our album ‘Unsaved Progress’ was the best way to acknowledge the roots of our band.
Guitarist Brock Tinsley added:
We shot the “Godzilla” video all by ourselves. It took about 3 months from set design to editing, and most of that was getting the main character, Django, our touring bulldog, to fit in his costume.
You can check out the “Godzilla” video below and if you dig it, be sure to stream ‘Unsaved Progress’ in its entirety. The nine-track album covers everything from major-league gaming to time travel, and the band proudly advertises that it’s “devoid of the brooding seriousness and lovelorn tantrums of their peers.” Fun is the name of the game, and we can get behind that.

The mind-bending psychological thriller will be released in select theaters and on demand on June 12 via Vertical.

In This Tempting Madness, “Mia awakens from a coma grievously injured, her memory fractured. As she puts the pieces of her past together, she starts to question her own actions, and her perception of reality.”
Jennifer E. Montgomery makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with director of photography Andrew Davis, inspired by Montgomery’s first-hand experience with tragedy involving her best friend.
“Months before the incident, there were signals that her world was unraveling,” says Montgomery. “I could feel the pressure building, though I didn’t know what form it would take. I never could have known what violence would come, and I certainly never imagined making a film about it.”
Austin Stowell (“NCIS: Origins”), Suraj Sharma (Happy Death Day 2U), Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Amol Shah (“For All Mankind”), and Zenobia Shroff (“Ms. Marvel”) round out the cast.
Smoke Jumper Films and Mango Monster Productions produce in association with Catchlight Studios (Heretic, The Blackening).
This Tempting Madness is rated R for “language, violence/bloody images, and brief sexuality.”
