Fate Up Against Your Will

We head back over across the Atlantic for today's boring video... seriously, this video was boring back in 1984 and it's not much better today, but I still like the song to this day... it's a band that found their fair share of success in the UK and found some following in the U.S. as well... Here is one of their better known songs stateside, "The Killing Moon" by Echo & The Bunnymen (don't ever confuse them with Bunnyboys)...
