The Ataris drop Breaking Bad- inspired music video for “Car Song” off their upcoming first full-length LP in over 15 years

This past Friday, we were positively ecstatic to check the brand new single , “Car Song”, from legendary punk rock band The Ataris, now we were even more excited, to check out the new Breaking Bad, inspired video. You can check out the video below

The video kicks off with Roe arriving at an Airbnb hosted by none other than Walter White’s family. A sign reads, “Make yourself at home, but whatever you do, don’t go in the garage!” Naturally, Roe ignores the warning, makes off with the original Volvo driven by Walter White in the final episode of Breaking Bad, and takes it on a chaotic joyride. The story escalates with a traffic stop by a cop—played by longtime Ataris producer Bob Hoag—and a surprise discovery of blue meth in the trunk. Just as things seem lost, a shadowy Walter White lookalike swoops in, stealing back the Volvo and disappearing into the desert.

We had a great time filming the video for ‘Car Song,’” says Roe. “It was a really fun day with old friends and lots of great memories were made.”

The inspiration for the song and the video’s surreal concept came from a real-life piece of Breaking Bad history: Roe purchased Walter White’s actual Volvo from the show’s assistant director and later traded it to producer Bob Hoag in exchange for studio time. “I like to say that Walter White’s Volvo was the catalyst for ‘Car Song’ and the new album,” Roe laughs. “It all just came together from there, and now, here we are.”

We are super psyched for the new video and single for “Car Song” and we can’t wait for more new music.
