On Tuesday, February 12th, Jesse McFaddin’s first video “Access Violation” from his solo album Stand Up! debuted on MTV Iggy, the world music discovery branch of the influential Viacom Media Networks family. The video is highlighted on their homepage, complete with a description. Access Violation is a track that blends a number of musical styles including rock, hip hop and electro. Sung in both English and Japanese, the track stays true to Jesse’s message of social activism and awareness. Shot entirely in black and white, the video intersperses artistic direction with classic video reels from the Cold War era to underscore Jesse’s message. MTV Iggy said it best by describing Access Violation as:

If we’re truly in our last days, Japan’s Jesse McFaddin (of nu metal trio Rize) would probably provide the penultimate swan song. “Access Violation” contains lots of pounding, hip-hoppy drums, electro guitar strums and black and white end-of-the-world-appropriate footage with poetic Japanese lyrics weaved in.
