Dumbfoundead album sneak peek

Here’s a snippet of a new song from dumbfoundead’s upcoming album which is scheduled for June 8, 2010. Song is still untitled but was sort of inspired by Jason Reitman’s “Up In the Air“. More bikes in this video like Night Riders. The time lapse video is by Ryan Quan. Looking forward to the Old Boy inspired album. We wonder how many of the new tracks were inspired by movies.
