Richmond band Roughshod releases “I Can’t Be Your Girl,” a horror-inspired music video exploring trans identity and self-acceptance.
Frontman Cel delivers a powerful performance about gender, truth, and resilience—blending 80s horror aesthetics with emotional honesty in one of the band’s most vulnerable and hopeful releases yet.
As Halloween time comes circling in around us, the leaves fallen and brown, local rock band Roughshod has released “I Can’t Be Your Girl” with an aptly timed horror-themed music video.
The video starts in a desolate, misty wood, the four instrumentalists of the band in a semi-circle, all wearing some sort of 80s horror-inspired garb, all outfitted in sunglasses.
A rising wave of synthesizer feeds back until the band jumps into a rhythmic Viagra Boys-esque beat. An underlying tension drives the song like a stolen car down a desert highway.
