SPIRITUAL BEGGARS guitarist and main songwriter Michael Amott comments:
"We just completed a three week tour through Europe and it was a very cool experience. Lots of love from our supporters out there and so awesome to see the new songs off our "Sunrise To Sundown" album go down so well! We had videographer Dirk Behlau come out to a couple shows in Germany to hang out, drink beer with us and capture some of the on and off stage action on camera - the result is a new clip for the song "Hard Road"...Enjoy!"
