Ithaca’s Jimkata have premiered an official video for its ear worm lead single, “Wild Ride”. Featured on the band’s second fan-funded album, In Motion, the bewildering visual premiered exclusively on Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist and follows the kickoff of the band’s extensive U.S. tour.
Watch the “Wild Ride” Video:

Friends since middle school Evan Friedell (vocals/guitar), Aaron Gorsch (synths) and Packy Lunn (drums) infuse Jimkata — which, yes, is named after the so-bad-it’s-good 1985 gym-fu caper Gymkata–with both an adventurous musical streak and an emotional core. Jimkata is bringing its dynamic live show across the US for the next two months, including an opening slot for X Ambassadors in its hometown of Ithaca, NY. See below for a full run of dates.
