Sing It Loud's shout-out to Mpls.

The emo popsters' new video offers a loving tour of their hometown.

Attention, Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce: You might want to recruit young emo popsters Sing It Loud to be your new goodwill ambassadors, if they aren't already operating on the clock. The quintet's new video for "Here With You" -- from its second album for Epitaph Records, "Everything Collide" -- offers a loving tour of the City of Lakes, starting outside the Triple Rock and including one of said lakes (Harriet, I think). Throughout the video, the band is seen walking the city pied-piper style drawing more and more followers at each stop, also including a stop at First Avenue (filmed when the stars outside the club were blank) and culminating with a performance at the Beat coffeehouse in Uptown. It'd be a terrific sales ad for the city on the whole where it not for keyboardist Ben Peterson's weird decision to where an "I NY" T-shirt for the shoot. Check out the whole clip below. Warning: The music might cause an overwhelming sugar rush.
