Swear and Shake
Swear and Shake’s music video Fire is set in a three dimensional pop-up book world starring band co-lead, Kari Spieler. Kari is on a quest to reach her true love, the moon, and will go to any length to reach it, to include: climbing makeshift towers of furniture, riding giant dragons and even space travel. Luckily, she has help from the other band members along the way but will it be enough to make it to the moon?
