Toronto pop-punk group Talk Show Host shared a new video this week along with new of an upcoming album, Mid Century Modern, set to release on June 4 via Wiretap (North American)/Disconnect Disconnect Records (UK/Europe).

Guitar/vocalist Chris Veinot sums up the video for "Blood in the Sand" pretty succintly: "The video has nothing to do with the song and everything to do with the fact that we are still under lockdown and all we have footage of is cats. Sincere apologies to all the dog persons."
