Video Jam of the Day- Hellogoodbye - “When We First Met”

Not only are they the best emo-pop band around, Hellogoodbye are also aces at making videos that display all the rambunctious and awkward charm of their music. Whether it’s a lovingly recreated summer camp homage for “Here (In Your Arms),” good time beach antics on “Shimmy Shimmy Quarter Turn” or wistful high school hi-jinks on “Baby It’s Fact,” the group — and especially endearingly geeky singer Forrest Kline — knows how to make videos work for them. On their new single “When We First Met,” they match the buoyantly poppy tune with a super cute video that tells the story of a couple through the length of their hair. Okay, it’s twee and precious, but it’s also very, very sweet and if you don’t like it you’re a crankypants.

Also!

And also…are Hellogoodbye to blame/thank for all the autotune in emopop? Has anyone done it better? Send your answers in on a postcard…
