The Sunstreak release new music video

Laila Hanson on 8/7/09 @ 4:09 PM

Check out the music video below of recent EMI signees The Sunstreak's new single "Until I Met You." The song is the first single from their upcoming album Once Upon A Lie which hits stores September 22. Vocalist Tony Rebis had the following to say about the video:

"We weren't even going to do a full music video, and somehow we ended up doing it, and it was so last minute. There really wasn't even any time to experiment with different story lines. It was kind of like, 'Okay, we have three days to do this, let's bang this out.' But I'm very happy with the way it came out, it's a relief."
