LØLØ - faceplant 

Based on a true and unfortunate story, LØLØ’s video for faceplant, directed by Justin Alexis, sees the singer performing a bike stunt, where she faceplants into the pavement, leaving her with a black eye and cuts on her chin, following in line with the lyrics “Thought I was falling, But I didn't just fall I face planted on to the floor. Never felt this feeling before. Oh god I I I'm down bad for you.” This video is the perfect inspiration for that garage band grunge look.
