We told you this was coming and it has now arrived: Danko Jones has released the second music video in his nearly completed video trilogy from the album Below the Belt. The new highly-stylized, film-like music video noir for the track "Had Enough" stars Ralph Macchio (The Karate Kid), comedian Don Jamieson (That Metal Show) and is the prequel to "Full of Regret." The video also features Frank Drank, best known for his recurring role as a Viking in the current Capital One ad campaign, reprising his role as Lemmy Kilmister's (Motorhead) henchman.

TEA PARTY - PSYCHOPOMP
Jeff Martin, one-time leader of much-missed Canadian superstars The Tea Party, has formed a new band with two former members of Aussie band The Sleepy Jackson. Martin told Undercover.fm that his new bandmates are Jay Cortez – who also played with Martin in his last band, The Armada – and Malcolm Clark. "The combination of the two of them plus myself with an incredible rhythm section behind me makes a very credible rock trio again," Martin said. "I am very excited about the future." The band has not yet found a name, and Martin is considering calling it simply The Jeff Martin Band. "The most important thing right now is the music and that is what we are recording in Perth at the moment," he said.
