Colossal Street Jam have released a killer video for “Seconds” from their latest album, “No Way to Live.”

The cathartic tune is the Makin Waves Song of the Week.

As the Makin Waves Song of the Week, “Seconds” also can be heard between 6 and 8 p.m. on June 9 on “Radio Jersey” at ThePenguinRocks.com. If you miss it, you can tune in any time in the archives at The Penguin or MixCloud.

The intense clip was inspiringly produced in Queens, N.Y., by Derek Soto and Marissa Ann of Sinestra Studios.

Actress Jaime Ileana provides a stunning performance as a disturbed, yet hopeful woman.

“The topic of depression is a tough one,” Colossal recently posted. “Possibly the toughest job of the day was done by Jaime. She was so patient and professional. She had a tough role to play, and she knocked it out of the park.”

Colossal will be making another video for “No Way to Live,” the veteran Jersey Shore band’s best-ever LP recorded by their longtime producer Tony Lewis at HiVoltage Music in Shrewsbury.

See Colossal on June 9 at The Break AP in Asbury Park and Aug. 4 opening for King’s X at The Vogel in their hometown of Red Bank.
