We got an email last week from MTV, letting us know that our video "Mind Games" could possibly get into rotation next week, IF we get enough votes on their site. We're only up against FOUR other bands, so we can do this! We haven't made a video in quite a while, so it's pretty exciting news. If you're tired of boy bands or rap taking over, now is your chance for your voice to be heard!

The voting is for the next installment of the MTV new artists show, The Freshmen. The show spotlights emerging artists on air and online, with the chance for one of the videos to get an automatic add into rotation on the channel the following week. Please vote online, starting NOW, and votes will end on Friday at 2:00 PM (EST) and be tabulated.

If you can take just a few seconds out of your day to vote, we would appreciate it it so much! Vote now...vote often! Pretty please =).

We have just now posted a full-length video for "Mind Games", one of the new songs from Counting to Zero.

It was directed by the talented (and slightly crazy) Kevin McVey who also directed our last two videos as well as our live DVD. It was edited by longtime Collide collaborator Dave Keffer of KEFSKI creative services.

Shooting the video was the most gruelling day ever. It was shot in the desert in California in the middle of a heat wave. Pay close attention near the beginning where you see the dust devil. It hit us early in the day straight on, and slightly damaged some of our equipment, making a hard day almost impossible.

Anyway, we have it posted up here. We hope you enjoy!!
