"Spray on Pants" was the second single from Hymns for the Nonbeliever, Kisschasy's second album, and it landed in November 2007 with a jab aimed squarely at Australia's emo scene, as the band saw it. The title nods to the skin-tight black jeans at the heart of the look. It came out on Below Par and climbed to 47 on the ARIA chart.
The video plays like a George A. Romero flick. Two zombies dressed as stock emo kids bite a boy on his bike and turn him, the horde swells as it nears Melbourne and makes the evening news, and the band, playing in a hallway, get cornered in the last verse. They fight their way free, which is the whole point: a band refusing to get swallowed by the fashion that had grown up around the music.
