The parodies are all done in good fun, as their own personal playlists fluctuate just as frequently. In the metal scene, I’m done up as a washed-up ‘80s rocker, Iron Mike is the crabcore kid, Bnoc as hardcore, Jamie was in a black metal band prior, so it was only fitting he did black metal, and Dave went for the pre-crabcore metalcore look.” “We also had to poke back at our own genre as well since there’s so many metal subgenres. “That spiraled into the whole process of, ‘If we are going to do a stupid, silly, funny video, why not branch out and make it more influenced by videos like Blink-182’s ‘All the Small Things,’ Bowling for Soup’s ‘1985,’ and Eminem’s ‘Without Me?’’ We wanted to make a parody video poking at the different genres, so with our location, a country shoot would be good and not that difficult or out of the way to do, as in it was literally done across the street from where the pool/truck scenes were shot. Then talk about doing a rap parody video came about during the heavy breakdown of the song, like imagine us in grillz jumping around to this, and we were all just starting to add more wild ideas on top of it, so we just rolled with it,” Ross recalled.

Between their two sets, TtA premiered the music video for their new single “Faucet Mouth” for everyone present and those headbanging online before today’s official release. Joined by rapper Lucas Hex and hard rock band The Holtzmann Effect, the Scranton metal band took over The V-Spot for a socially distanced show that was also live streamed to their Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch as well as NEPA Scene’s Facebook page.
