They are streaming the music video for their first single “Kill You”, off their fifth album Red Light District, out now via Ultradose Music, below. The video features an appearance by adult film star Mary Carey.

Fans of auto makeover reality show “Overhaulin’” (originally on TLC, recently revamped on Velocity/Discovery) will recognize the song “Gasoline” from 2002’s Space Age Breakdown album as the show’s main theme music, making it an unexpected sleeper hit by generating millions of YouTube views and spiked sales of the single.

Red Light District offers the perfect balance of classic and contemporary. Kelly’s love for the dancier elements of new groups like Young the Giant and Shiny Toy Guns, as well as his taste for the big grungy riffs of ‘90s rockers Stone Temple Pilots and Alice In Chains is heard throughout.
