By: Walker


This video has been passed along to me via email approximately 30 times in the past 3 days. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out. Was filmed all around Columbus. How many landmarks can you spot?

  • Amazing!  Great video and great band.  I may be behind the times but I have never heard of The Receiver and will be looking into more works by them, and not just because they filmed in Columbus. 

  • nat is awesome

  • Not sure about their influences, but I immediately thought of Death Cab.  Are they just a 2-piece band?

    Very nice video.  Nice to see such talent in the local scene.  Looks like the video is doing quite well on YouTube since being put up a few days ago.  1500 views.  4 1/2 stars and 70 positive comments, some from Norway!

    If this doesn’t win the DiscoverOhioFilm video contest, it will speak volumes of the quality of content in the state.

  • This Receiver video is awesome.  Zach and I were watching it and we both were like, “is that NAT??”

    Nat is a great local musician.  He plays bass with Wing and Tusk and formerly with Pirate.

    The Receiver have been around for a few years.  Casey and I became friends through the school or music when I first moved to Columbus.  It’s great to see their second album coming to fruition.

  • Not the type of music I normally listen to but still a cool song and video.

  • Yay Receiver, and great job by everyone at Vital Film Works!  Just for the record, Nat has never actually stolen anything (unless you count my heart…)

  • Thanks everybody for the warm feedback.  And yeah, we are a 2-piece.  Josh Rea (singer for Wing & Tusk) co-directed this with Vital and they did a really good job.  Thanks, Walker, for posting this up.  We owe you! 
    ps.  this is Casey (singer/bass player for The Receiver)

  • welcome aboard casey!  (you can probably guess me by my handle as well.)

    and yeah, the vid is killer.  

    now out with the album!  :)

  • Hey Casey! No problem at all for posting it. Very cool video for a great song. :D

  • Very, very impressed (and I’m hard to impress).

  • The Receiver–Great video and interesting concept.  Also, Check out the video YOU SAID by Antonio Giovanni and Andrew Hamilton of Columbus, Ohio.  An emotional story of an untold, ever-growing social epidemic in Middle America.  Check it out at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZWlpvmI9F0

    Ohio’s Got TALENT!!!

  • This is very well done and I knew that I knew the guy from somewhere. Pirate of course! The bassist.

  • FYI: They’ve got a CD Release Party at Skully’s on May 8th! :D
