What’s that smell?

Funky alternative rockers Karate Chop, Silence have the answer. Music in Minnesota is proud to present the video premiere of their new track, “Smoking Marijuana”!

The band explains the simple influence behind it:

We had a song written about being confronted by your boss about being high, so we thought it would make sense to release it on 4/20. This is our first music video, in addition to the first single since the release of our debut album, No MSG, a little over a year ago.

Watch the video below! You can also download the track for free on Karate Chop, Silence’s BandCamp page.
