The lead singer is in a Stones covers band these days. In fairness, he does a pretty good Jagger.

Most Split Endz videos belong in the "thread for old songs with mad videos you'd never seen until now".

In the Aussie music business (yes I know Endz are Kiwis) it was pretty much mandatory for bands with a record deal to make videos for every single. So there videos for things you might not expect e.g. the first AC/DC single, The Boys Next Door - These Boot Are Made For Walking etc.

I remember the name Then Jerico but can never remember what they sound like. For a long time they don't seem to have any songs that get played on the radio anymore.
