It wouldn’t be elction day with all kinds of bizarre happenings around the nation. That’s why Philadelphia’s own, The Donuts will be storming their way through the “city of brotherly love” performing their song “Guantanamo” at nearly every voting hub around the city. This song isn’t referring to what we think it does, does it? You betcha.

Clad in their black suits, The Donuts accentuate their point, feigning their guitars like 10-pound guns, as they storm the beaches and eliminate any bad voters in sight. As you all know, Pennsylvania is a major player in this years voting once again, so we hope these guys can stir some sense into people as they hit the booths.

From the band:

The song “Guantanamo” is from our last record, “Jet Ear”. The video was directed by Mark Schreiber (of Slo-Mo, John Train, the Low Road, etc) and Suzanne Penn (of the Philadelphia Art Museum). We shot it in Ocean City, New Jersey. There was a crowd of teenage girls surrounding us as we lip-synched. One of ‘em had asked me, “will this be on MTV?” To which I replied: “of course!”
