SICK CITY has just released a video for “Smiles & Cries” off their album Nightlife, released Sept 25, 2007 through Smallman Records in Canada and Trustkill Records worldwide. Front-page exclusive premiere placement for “Smiles & Cries” is now in full effect at Yahoo! Music Canada. (music.yahoo.ca).

Produced by video director W. James Meagher, the video for “Smiles & Cries” is inspired by the black and white silent film era, featuring a heroic urban-sandinista who encounters snowball vigilanteism while trying to cross enemy held Little Chinatown!

“Smiles & Cries” is the second video released off Nightlife. The first was “Turning Heads,” directed by Colin Minihan (The Gorgeous, Protest the Hero).

Watch it on YouTube.

- I’m a fan of “Nightlife” but I can’t shake the thought that it reminds me of someone merging THE JULIANA THEORY with TAKING BACK SUNDAY.
